Bipartisan Deal that Almost Failed is Harbinger for the 119th Congress. The Continuing Resolution (CR) hit some speed bumps in what was expected to be a quick bipartisan vote for passage thanks to Elon Musk’s very prominent opposition to additional funding and President-elect Trump’s last minute push for a debt ceiling extension.

President Trump and the 119th Congressional leadership are signaling their plans and priorities. Tax cuts, tariffs, funding cuts and increases, vaccine scrutiny, shrinking government, pro-business regulatory reforms, end to DEI policies, and many more are among those topping the list.

Before leaving DC on September 27, Congress focused on bills that reinforce party messaging, which they believe will resonate with their base, while avoiding issues that could alienate their voters and put their candidates in contentious positions.
March 31, 2022
March was an active month with the March 1 State of the Union, March 15 signing into law the FY2022 Omnibus Appropriations bill, and March 28 release of President Biden’s FY2023 budget proposal. The House and Senate Budget and Appropriations Committees have jumped right into organizing budget hearings and collecting appropriations submissions, including community project funding requests from constituents. Many more people have also returned to Capitol Hill, holding meetings in offices and hearings in person.

President Biden gave his first State of the Union speech on March 1, focused on Ukraine as well as infrastructure, electric vehicles, gas prices, climate change, manufacturing such as the new Intel semiconductor site in Columbus, child care and paid leave, crime and police training, voting rights, and several health issues: COVID and his “Test to Treat” initiative, opioids, mental health, Cancer Moonshot, and biomedical research through ARPA-H. In the coming weeks, he will announce his FY2023 budget and then Congress can begin work on their 12 appropriations bills.

The year kicked off with more questions than answers: will Congress agree on a final FY2022 appropriations omnibus package or settle for a year-long Continuing Resolution, how will Build Back Better legislation be rewritten and cut back to pass Congress, what key legislation will be enacted by year’s end, and what will the elections in November 2022 mean for the House, Senate and the White House, among others. While much is up in the air, some significant legislative measures are moving through Congress.
