Was Speaker Mike Johnson right to send the U.S. House home to campaign until after the November midterms?

On Sept. 16, Speaker Mike Johnson canceled the House's remaining September votes, sending members home to campaign until after the Nov. 3 midterms and leaving disputes like a Pete Hegseth impeachment vote unresolved.

Johnson sent the House home early to avoid a vote on impeaching Pete Hegseth. The United States is facing huge challenges both domestically and internationally. Sending the House home to avoid an embarrassing vote is sadly typical of Congress placing partisanship ahead of patriotism.

If you're voting "they should be working," what's actually sitting undone that couldn't wait three weeks anyway?
