Even the August recess — one of the Congress’s most hallowed traditions — has now been uprooted by the coronavirus pandemic
.
“People are feeling a lot of hardship right now. There’s a lot of suffering,” Rep. Ben McAdams said in an interview during a final round of votes on Friday. “I think partisanship and disagreement has locked down Washington. It’s inexcusable.” House leaders gave their members permission to leave Washington this weekend as long as they can return within 24 hours to vote on an eventual deal, if one is ever reached.
Some lawmakers said they may not return for the vote — which would put them at further risk of contracting the virus as cases continue to surge — and would instead cast their vote by proxy for the next round of relief. But even some Senate Republicans — who had, for weeks, resisted a deal — told reporters this week that they felt uncomfortable leaving for the weekend after the Senate adjourned Thursday with the unemployment aid set to expire. The Senate plans to begin its lengthy summer recess on Aug. 10, though that date, too, could be pushed back without a deal.
