Senate Dem predicts hyperactive lame duck session

Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., predicted a flurry of activity in the Senate during the lameduck session, which takes place after the election but before newly-elected officials take office.

“They call it a lame-duck [session], it’ll be a dizzyduck,” Nelson told The Washington Examiner in a phone interview. He said that Senate Democrats will not take up a budget before the November elections, despite the fact that Senate Democrats could pass a budget if just 51 of their 53 incumbents voted in favor of the bill
