U.S. Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga.
The August recess for the U.S. Senate has been canceled as leaders push senators to work overtime on budget bills. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, announced the cancellation on Tuesday, June 5. Senators have traditionally taken August to meet with constituents in their states before heading back to Washington, D.C., for the fall.
