CQ Roll Call’s David Lerman and Lindsey McPherson preview what is coming up in a very busy next few months.
Show Notes:
- Getting something done
- Movement on the appropriations process?
- New year’s outlook for reconciliation package and appropriations
- Democrats look to new year to pass tax and spending package
- Senate clears procedural debt limit measure
