As the midterm elections approach, Republicans face challenges in campaigning with limited achievements addressing the cost of living.
Sen. Jon Husted, a Republican from Ohio, is contending with a tough reelection bid. His efforts to pass legislation on data centers’ energy consumption before the midterms did not succeed.
For the next month, Congress members will focus on campaigning rather than legislative duties in Washington, D.C. Both the Senate and the House have left the capital, with the Senate departing last on Wednesday. The House exited two weeks earlier.
