Senators and staffers should enjoy the Memorial Day recess, because it might be a long summer on Capitol Hill.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is far from waving off the idea that he might truncate the August recess, and doing the math on the amount of floor time needed for his current legislative agenda seems to point to one thing: extra work weeks.

The tentative legislative schedule for the year includes recess weeks for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, with the traditional August state work period effectively kicking off Friday, Aug. 3.

“I’ll have more to say definitively about that the week after next, but I’ve said to all the press corps and the members up here I wouldn’t buy any nonrefundable tickets,” McConnell told Fox News on Thursday.

The Kentucky Republican made similar comments to several media outlets the same day, and during the Fox News appearance, he suggested an aggressive legislative agenda.
