Military funding, AI and more: Congress returns for short stint before bolting again
Lawmakers from both chambers return to D.C. for the final push before the November midterms, the first time since July 23 that both chambers have been on the Hill.
Congress returns for a brief session before the November midterm elections, with both the House and Senate conducting their final legislative business. The House is set to tackle military funding, potentially addressing concerns surrounding military leadership and resources, while Senate Republicans may delay a major budget bill ahead of the midterms.
The Russia sanctions bill, which faces opposition from Democrats, is expected to be debated in the House. Fraud-related measures, as well as bills to regulate artificial intelligence, are likely to be discussed. High-profile figures from the Trump administration, including the FBI Director and Treasury Secretary, are scheduled to appear before congressional committees.
