The Senate is operating with a heavy workload this week as it races to confirm the nominee for Israeli ambassador, organize a larger defense spending bill, and begin passing appropriations bills ahead of the deadline to avert a government shutdown.
That defense bill will include four tranches: three aid bills for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel and a border security measure. Lew, who was treasury secretary under President Barack Obama, has come under scrutiny from Republicans over his handling of Iran sanctions following the Israel attack. Most of the GOP conference have said they’re waiting to see how Lew performs at his highly anticipated confirmation hearing before deciding how they’ll vote, though some have already come out in opposition.
