Senate delays expected return until May

[left-of-center2012]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), after consulting with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), has announced the Senate will not reconvene in Washington sooner than May 4, two weeks later than the previously scheduled date.

“As the country continues working together to flatten the curve, following the advice of health experts, the full Senate is not expected to travel back to Washington D.C. sooner than Monday, May 4th,” McConnell said in a statement.

“All members will receive at least 24 hours’ notice if this changes. This bipartisan decision reflects consultation with Leader Schumer and my colleagues in Senate leadership,” he added.

House Democratic leaders announced Monday that the House will not reconvene before the week of May 4 and that lawmakers will be given sufficient notice if they need to come back to Washington before then for emergency legislative action.
