What the Senate did and didn’t get done in the final hours before recess

In the final frantic push before their recess, Senate lawmakers confirmed President Trump’s pick for attorney general and approved a spending bill, wrapping up key legislative actions. This move underscores the Senate's ability to finalize significant appointments and funding even as political tensions remain high. The recess, set to last until mid-September, means these decisions will stand for now, but it also highlights the limited time left to tackle other pressing issues like healthcare and infrastructure before the election.
