US Senators concluded their session early Saturday after a significant legislative deadlock. President Trump's strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill did not advance as planned. Republican senators discussed an alternative plan to revisit voting bill elements later. Key priorities, including attorney general confirmation and sanctions, were successfully passed. The Senate ultimately adjourned for the summer recess as planned.
