Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday chances are “probably pretty slim” the Senate will vote on a Russia sanctions bill in September, which would lessen the chances of the legislation becoming law ahead of the November midterm elections.

“September is pretty crowded already,” McConnell said when asked by reporters about the various bills Senate panels are weighing that would either sanction Russia or threaten sanctions over election meddling. “Honestly, the chances of sandwiching that in the month of September with all the other items we have to consider is probably pretty slim.”
