The disadvantage to Dems for campaigning isn't unique to them. That also affects Rebpublicans. I think the key here is the desire to ram through as many judges and other Republican business before the midterms, because according to all indicators, they stand to lose seats in Congress then.Traditionally, the Senate hits the road in October of an election year. But the Senate is throwing tradition out the window this year.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is planning to keep the chamber in session for a significant portion of October if not four entire weeks, costing Democrats key campaign trail days and allowing the Senate to continue its work into the fall, according to five Republican officials. The Kentucky Republican wants to keep cranking through as many lifetime judicial nominations and executive nominations as he can with his majority in the balance and the GOP still with the unilateral ability to confirm President Donald Trump’s picks.
