12 October 2020 Congress on hold with election on the horizon The short congressional session before the home stretch of campaigning for the November 3 election focused on bipartisan negotiations over a next coronavirus package and extending government funding and other expiring programs beyond the close of the FY2020 fiscal year on September 30.
