The Senate’s August 5, 2026 proceedings centered on floor management of major pending business, including H.R. 6500, the AGOA Extension Act being used as the vehicle for the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act. Leadership filed cloture on the substitute amendment and the underlying bill, while several timing and procedural amendments were pending. The chamber also rejected a motion to proceed to a Congressional Review Act resolution targeting EPA’s PFAS reporting rule, preserving the rule for the time being.
