Escalation: Senate Republicans Delay Exit for Final Votes

Senate Republicans scrapped plans to leave Washington early and will keep the chamber in session for final votes this week. The first vote Monday is on passage of a bipartisan bill to set rules for name, image and likeness deals in college sports. It is expected to be the last major bill to move before Election Day.

The Senate could still adjourn as soon as Wednesday once the remaining items are cleared. Majority Leader John Thune will skip Tuesday’s White House meeting on artificial intelligence with President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and tech executives.
