GOP Faces Tight Calendar as Midterm Clock Ticks
Republicans are racing a shrinking legislative window before the midterms, with key fights over an immigration-enforcement bill and funding for the Trump administration’s anti-weaponization fund, plus the need to extend expiring surveillance authorities by June 12, avoid a October government shutdown, and address Iran war powers. Lawmakers must also reconcile crypto and housing bills, push insulin-price relief, resolve college sports NIL rules, and renew surface transportation and farm bills before deadlines in August and September, all while the House sits for about ten weeks and the Senate only eight before the election.
