July Preview

29 Jun July Preview

After this week, both the Senate and House are not scheduled to be back in Washington until the week of July 20th for a quick two-week work period before the August recess, but this schedule is very much subject to change. For example, the House could come back sooner and both chambers could stay into early August if necessary, especially to complete work on the next COVID-19 relief package. Regardless, the last two weeks of July promise to be very busy, especially with the prospects of a very small legislative calendar between then and the election. The House will take up appropriations bills along with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which is going through the Senate this week, and we expect there to be continued focus on CARES Act oversight, and again, movement towards the next relief package. Here is a brief outlook of where we believe things stand heading into July in Washington.
