June Still Comes Around Every Year

11 Jun June Still Comes Around Every Year

After a needed Memorial Day recess, Members return to Washington today to begin an eight-week summer slog, broken up only by a week back home over the 4^th of July. We expect the annual appropriations debate to be front and center in June as well as final approval of disaster aid funding and House consideration of DACA legislation. Even though the release of the Mueller report is in the rearview window, the issues raised by this investigation – chief among them the public comments last week from Mueller himself – will continue to reverberate within the Democratic party in June, with the impeachment drumbeat likely to continue to grow louder. These voices could be amplified later this month on the stages of the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami for the first Democratic debate on June 26^th and 27^th. We highlight these and other issues below as we briefly preview what we believe will be the focus in Washington in June, subject as always to external or unexpected events that could disrupt the schedule.
