"The House and Senate will return on Monday, May 4 after an extended recess to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, even as the pandemic continues to ravage Washington.
The plan is already receiving pushback from some lawmakers, including a vocal group of House Democrats who railed against the “dangerous” idea in a call with Speaker Nancy Pelosi Monday.
But leaders in both chambers seem undeterred, plowing ahead with plans to descend on the Capitol next week despite rank-and-file concerns.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was first to solidify the return date, announcing Monday that his chamber will "honor our constitutional duty” and conduct business in person after being on an extended recess since March 26.
“We’re going to take whatever safeguards the Capitol physician recommends that we engage in and we believe we can do that safely,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a telephone interview Monday."
