Part 2/8:
The House of Representatives has decided to check out early for the summer, leaving some legislative work unfinished. In contrast, the Senate continues to deliberate, primarily focused on confirming President Donald Trump's nominees for various positions. President Trump has publicly called on Senate Republicans to forego their customary August recess and long weekends to expedite the confirmation process. "I'm not afraid of hard work, so however long we need to stay, we will stay to get nominations done," Trump asserted, emphasizing the importance he places on filling key government roles.
