It’s going to be a light week around Washington D.C., as Congress is in recess for the Thanksgiving holiday. In the off week, candidates are expected to have a light campaign schedule and major legislative developments are likely to be limited. President Trump, however, will continue the tradition of pardoning turkeys at the White House. Be sure to share your thoughts about who should receive the presidential pardon – Bread or Butter.
Check out the latest look ahead to get yourself prepped for the week.
