With summer recess looming, Senate Republicans are lining up a busy pre-recess agenda: a continuing resolution through Dec. 11, a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill, and a package of nominees, plus a push for a budget resolution to unlock a second reconciliation package. Debates over grant‑approval language and Trump tariff powers figure into the talks, while Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination remains in flux and a farm bill text could surface soon.

The plan relies on a simple-majority reconciliation to bypass the filibuster, but Senate Leader Thune has shown hesitance while the White House and Trump push for movement ahead of the midterms.
