* The House Democratic caucus has been notified that the chamber is canceling tomorrow’s session, which is not a big surprise. As I’ve been telling subscribers for a while now, the important stuff will mostly happen in the second week of veto session. HDem members were told today to prepare for a “busy and full week next week.”

I’ve checked with the Senate and will get back to you.

*** UPDATE *** The Senate confirms it has canceled tomorrow as well.

Given how court proceedings could drag out on the Aug/Sep legislative map plus the soon to be approved congressional map, is there any chance Dems could push back primary again, to Aug 16/23/30, to allow as much time for any/all legal wrangling to be done?

Rich mentioned busy week, and wouldn’t take much legislatively to push back primary, along with dates to circulate petitions, again.

===push back primary again, to Aug 16/23/30===

I do not think that’s possible because of how long it takes to count and then fall early voting, etc.

Any word on the gaming omnibus moving?
