House GOP packs May schedule with megabill vote on the horizon

Published April 28, 2025 6:00am ET



House lawmakers will be returning to Capitol Hill this week with a full docket as GOP leadership tees up floor votes on a wide range of legislation, buying time for Republicans to hammer out the finer details of President Donald Trump‘s signature tax cut-and-border bill.

Republican leadership has ambitious goals for the month of May. Lawmakers, who are returning from a two-week Easter recess, will not see another break until the end of the month for the Memorial Day recess. There are 16 session days on the House calendar, with three Fridays and one Monday set as recess days, for now.
