Mike Johnson abruptly cancels final weeks of House votes amid panic over midterm elections
- The House of Representatives abruptly canceled the final two weeks of votes for September, effectively giving the House four days of work before the midterm elections and not being in session during August.
- The move comes 60 days before the midterm elections polling shows Democrats poised to win control of the House of Representatives.
- But it also comes as Republicans still face major questions about President Donald Trump’s increasingly unpopular war in Iran, the rising cost of living and the president’s plans for overhauling the nation’s capital.
