Congress Wrap Up

The Senate has finally adjourned to go home and campaign. They will be back on November 13, one week after the election.

Before leaving, the Senate confirmed 15 judges as part of a deal between Senate Majority Leader McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

As I wrote last week, the Senate voted on legislation overturning President Trump’s regulation expanding short term health insurance plans. The vote was 50-50. Senator Susan Collins from Maine was the only Republican to vote for the bill. Every Democrat Senator voted yes.

The Senate also passed the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA). Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) was the only Senator to vote no.
