"Even after two historic years full of accomplishments for the American people, there are still important items left for this Congress to check off our list before the end of this year."
"Some of this Congress' biggest accomplishments have been bipartisan. From landmark opioids legislation to improvements in veterans' services to historic progress on appropriations. Our remaining work on nominations and legislation will require more of that bipartisan spirit."
"The Senate is focused on wrapping up this year's remaining priorities: getting more of the president's team in place, confirming well-qualified nominees to our federal courts, and attending to the pressing legislative business the American people expect us to handle."
"With needless delays- & a record-breaking number of cloture votes on nominations, my Democratic colleagues have made this body drag its feet along the way. But the Senate will press on this week to put to rest more of the people's business before the close of the 115th Congress."
