- U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., identified a "lame duck" window to advance three legislative priorities: the National Defense Authorization Act, permitting reform, and the Save America Act before year-end.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican, scheduled an initial procedural vote on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 for November 9, aiming to streamline federal environmental reviews.

- McCormick aims to pass the Republican-backed Save America Act through Reconciliation 3.0, arguing that 83% of Americans support voter ID, though opponents contend it could federalize election oversight.
