Congress delays major tasks until after the election
Original: A sluggish Congress punts a long list of tasks until after the election
Lawmakers are leaving Washington with a long list of unresolved tasks, pushing decisions on key legislation until after November's elections. Reporting describes a sluggish session in which Congress failed to act on pressing priorities, leaving major funding and policy questions pending. Observers say the pre-election stalemate reflects deep partisan divisions and members' reluctance to take contentious votes before facing voters.
Why now: Congress is wrapping up its session without resolving major legislative items ahead of the November elections.
