参议员林赛·格雷厄姆周六离世，再加上参议员米奇·麦康奈尔持续缺席，让参议院共和党人在唐纳德·特朗普总统议事日程的关键时刻陷入人手不足的困境。
参议院将于周一结束两周的休会期返回议事，此时有一长串待办事项：更新一项已过期的监控法案、审议特朗普提出的为对伊朗战争追加五角大楼拨款的请求、确认托德·布兰奇为司法部长，并在9月30日政府拨款截止日期前推进各项拨款法案。

The death of Sen. Lindsey Graham on Saturday, coupled with Sen. Mitch McConnell’s continued absence, leaves Senate Republicans shorthanded at a crucial moment for President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The Senate returns Monday from a two-week recess with a long to-do list: renewing an expired surveillance law, considering Trump’s request for more Pentagon funding for the war with Iran, confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general and advancing spending bills before a Sept. 30 government funding deadline.
