The Senate is eyeing an early exit for recess following a deal between GOP leadership and the Trump White House, with lawmakers looking to wrap up work despite a pile of unresolved agenda items.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s handling of the chamber’s schedule has drawn criticism, with some describing the situation as having caused real damage to the Senate’s productivity this session.
Lawmakers are expected to revisit the stalled items when the Senate returns from recess, though the timeline for addressing them remains unclear.
