Senate under pressure: Schumer cancels part of holiday recess to address long list of tasks

Schumer canceled part of the holiday recess as border talks continue, but that's not the only business item awaiting action in the upper chamber.

Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate. 

Aside from the supplemental, however, there are still several business items the upper chamber will have to address — reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, appropriations bills to replenish some government agencies and votes on 11 outstanding military promotions held up by Sen. Tommy Tuberville.

And the clock is ticking. The current FAA authorization expires Dec. 31. On Monday, the House passed an extension of the FAA reauthorization package, which means the Senate will have to act on the House's markup soon.
