The House will be in session during the last week of April and leave for a week-long recess the first week of May, congressional leaders announced Monday, swapping the previous floor schedule.
Votes are now expected on the evening of Monday, April 27 through early Thursday, April 30, according to a Democratic whip notice. That week was originally scheduled to be a district work period, when lawmakers leave DC. In exchange for the extra work, lawmakers will get to decamp to their districts the week of May 4, originally an in-session period.
