Nevada Democrats Stay United on Israel Amid Netanyahu Visit Rift in Party

President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, leading to Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the presumptive nominee. Despite this major political news, Congress was busy during the week with various issues.
In a joint address from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, many Democrats boycotted the event, while Nevada representatives maintained a neutral stance. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen supported Israel but called for humanitarian aid in Gaza, while Rep. Susie Lee also attended the speech.
Spending bills in the House faced difficulties, with only one out of four bills passing. A stopgap measure will likely be needed as the government runs out of funding on Sept. 30.
In the Senate, deals were negotiated to protect children’s digital safety and to speed up the pace of energy projects. Sens. Cortez Masto and Rosen supported both deals.
Additionally, Rep. Horsford introduced a bill to close a labor loophole for school support staff, while Cortez Masto and Sen. Mike Braun introduced a bill to give reserve service members more paid leave.
Overall, Congress remained active despite the major political news of the week, with lawmakers working on various issues in both chambers. Stay tuned for more updates on these ongoing developments.
