US House to leave for campaign break without action on AI, affordability
House Republicans are using the break to help vulnerable members campaign, with 20 voting days still scheduled before year’s end, according to House records.
- The United States House of Representatives is expected to depart Wednesday evening for a seven-week campaign break, pausing legislative business until after the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
- House Republican leaders scheduled the extended "district work period" to give incumbents time to meet constituents and fundraise before voting, hoping to help vulnerable members secure reelection and maintain their majority.
- On Wednesday, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the recess, saying Republicans "decided to cancel votes and run out of town," while questioning why they have not improved the economy or lowered prices as promised.
- Instead of debating legislation, Speaker Mike Johnson argued that executives should "self-regulate. They don't need the government to tell them to slow it down." Johnson pointed to a bipartisan task force report as evidence lawmakers are prepared.
- Representatives have spent 72 days in session this year, and less time on Capitol Hill means fewer votes on divisive issues like the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that Rep. Thomas Massie could have forced.
