Congress leaves town until after the midterms
Original: Analysis | Congress just left town until after the midterm elections
Congress has adjourned and members are heading home until after the November midterm elections, leaving major legislative business unresolved. Lawmakers will spend the coming weeks campaigning instead of negotiating outstanding spending and policy fights, meaning decisions on funding the government and other priorities will wait until a lame-duck session or the next Congress.
Why now: Lawmakers pausing legislative work weeks before elections that will determine control of Congress draws attention to what is being left undone.
