The Calm Before the Storm

It’s been an interesting six months – to say the least – since the 115th Congress and President Trump swore in, but now that August recess is here (a little belatedly for Senators), Washington has a chance to rest, reset and look ahead to the fall legislative agenda.

In this “Recess Edition” of The Washington DC 100, we feature opinions from congressmen, journalists, governors and pollsters about what to expect when Congress returns to the Hill and tackles the big-ticket legislative items – like health care and tax reform – it couldn’t come to agreement on in the first half of the year.
