House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., announced Monday that the House will be in session the week of December 16. Previously the chamber was to be in session only portions of the first two weeks of December.
First votes of the week are expected to occur early in the day on Tuesday, December 17, with last votes of the week expected on Friday, December 20, Hoyer said in a message to House members. "Exact timing of last votes for the week will be announced at a later date.”
The move is not a surprise given that there is now a December 20 deadline for lawmakers to take action to keep the government funded and this also opens the door for action on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to see action in the House.
Hoyer mentioned several weeks ago the chamber could be in session longer than the original departure date of Dec. 12.
