Upcoming Events in Washington D.C.: August 31st
The political landscape in Washington is bustling with activity as Congress returns from its August recess and key events unfold.
President Donald Trump is set to host the new Polish President, Karol Nawrocki, at the White House on Wednesday. This meeting follows Trump's earlier support for Nawrocki's campaign earlier this year. On the previous week, Trump welcomed the then-candidate of Poland at the White House in May.
In other news, the Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is set to testify in front of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions about his agency's budget proposal on Thursday. The details about other witnesses scheduled to appear before the committee are not yet clear.
A significant personnel change was announced as President Trump fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez. Reports suggest that Monarez's refusal to back some of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recommendations around vaccines was the reason for her dismissal. Monarez's lawyers stated that she was fired after refusing to "rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts."
As the current fiscal year nears its end at the end of September, Congress must pass spending legislation to avoid a potential government shutdown. The Senate is holding two big hearings on Thursday, but details about the topics to be discussed are not yet available.
Stephen Miran, Trump's new nominee for the Federal Reserve Board, is set to testify in front of the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs this week.
It's important to note that Congress is back in session on Tuesday, marking the end of the August recess. The Senate hearings and committee meetings are expected to provide more insights into the ongoing political and economic issues in the United States.
Stay tuned for more updates as these events unfold.
