Congress’ schedule for next year is set after the Senate rolled out its 2026 calendar Wednesday, a day after the House unveiled its own version.
The Senate calendar, made public by Majority Leader John Thune’s office, contains a few notable differences from the schedule set by the House for the midterm election year.
The Senate will recess during the third full week of January, coinciding with the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, before returning the last week of the month ahead of a Jan. 30 funding deadline that lawmakers put in place when they approved a spending package to end the government shutdown last week.
