November Shadows, Shade November Change

12 Nov November Shadows, Shade November Change

The House and Senate are in session for less than two weeks together this month before leaving town for Thanksgiving. But even though there are just eight scheduled joint legislative days in November, this short period will be extremely active and set up the calendar for the remainder of the year. Dominating the discussion will be the public impeachment hearings, which begin tomorrow, while Congress also works to extend government funding beyond the current Continuing Resolution’s expiration next Thursday. Otherwise, it’s full steam ahead as committee schedules are packed this month (such as Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s appearance tomorrow before the Joint Economic Committee), so please find below a brief preview what we believe will be the focus in Washington these next few weeks, subject as always to external or unexpected events that could disrupt the schedule.
