提名程序、伊朗境内新一轮冲突、政府拨款以及唐纳德·特朗普总统标志性选举改革法案，都在本周参议院复会时等待处理。
参议院在休会两周多后重新召开，将全速推进7月剩余时间的工作，并进入8月第一周。各项优先级事务堆积如山，这既源于两党之间的分歧，也来自参议院共和党内部的分歧。
加剧这场 uphill 斗争的是南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的突然离世，这意味着共和党在推进特朗普议程的过程中，将失去一张关键投票票。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（南达科他州共和党人）将肩负起团结其党团的重任，而参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（纽约州民主党人）及其民主党同僚，则可能会尽力寻找共和党团结内部的任何裂痕，以阻挠特朗普的议程。

但特朗普本人也在破坏其议程的某些方面，这在很大程度上源于他执意要求共和党通过其标志性的选举诚信立法——《保障美国选民资格（SAVE）美国法案》。
他此前已拒绝签署一项两党支持的大规模住房法案，以此抗议该选举法案陷入停滞，如今他又希望共和党将《SAVE美国法案》附加到每年都必须通过的《国防授权法案》（NDAA）上，而该法案需要民主党议员的支持才能通过。将选民权益法案附加到军事拨款授权法案中，几乎肯定会让民主党人不再支持该法案。
共和党希望在7月启动《国防授权法案》的审议流程，但他们担心，试图附加《SAVE美国法案》只会让舒默和民主党人获得谈判筹码。
“这确实让民主党人有理由阻挠那些原本他们可能不得不投票支持的法案，无论是《国防授权法案》、拨款法案还是其他任何法案，”南达科他州共和党参议员迈克·朗兹在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。

“他们发现这可能是共和党的阿喀琉斯之踵，因为一旦我们将其附加到任何法案上，他们就知道我们无法获得足够票数——在需要60票的门槛下，他们永远不会给我们投赞成票，因为他们清楚这项法案对我们有多重要，”他补充道。
共和党议员离会之前遗留的一项关键优先事务，是替换代理国家情报总监比尔·普尔特尔。特朗普于6月任命普尔特尔，此举打乱了国会重新授权美国关键反恐工具之一的进程，两党都有声音称普尔特尔不适合该职位。
他的继任者杰伊·克莱顿将于周三出席参议院情报委员会的确认听证会。几周前，特朗普取消了克莱顿的首次听证会，这进一步加剧了议员们重新授权《外国情报监控法》第702条的不确定性。
特朗普的另一项提名、代理司法部长托德·布兰奇也将于本周出席确认听证会。与其他被提名人一样，布兰奇在休会期间曾走访议员，解释他在总统现已取消的反武器化基金中所扮演的角色。鉴于部分共和党议员对他持怀疑态度，他能否在参议院司法委员会听证会上过关仍未可知。其中北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯目前似乎愿意支持布兰奇。

“我将走完提名程序，我对布兰奇抱有积极的倾向，”蒂利斯在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时表示。
共和党人也急于启动政府拨款程序，以验证他们的担忧：民主党人可能会再次为了政治优势而关闭政府。
作为参议院拨款委员会成员的朗兹告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他预计在7月的冲刺阶段，将有若干项拨款法案提交参议院全院审议。
参议院民主党人曾告知朗兹，他们希望通过拨款法案为政府提供资金，但他们担心特朗普政府可能会截留部分他们优先推进的项目的资金。民主党人是否真的会为共和党通过拨款法案投下赞成票，仍未可知。
“如果他们不这样做，我们就能很清楚地看出，政治考量对他们来说是优先事项，”朗兹说，“那么我们不妨就开始谈判通过一项持续决议，以撑过选举期，顺其自然吧。”
另一项可能导致民主党人撤回立法支持的问题是政府对伊朗的新一轮打击。此次打击始于上周，起因是伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡阻挠船只航行引发的不满。
两党多名议员都不喜欢特朗普与伊朗达成的为期两个月的临时协议，该协议旨在继续谈判达成更持久的和平，但他们对协议带来的停火暂停感到欢迎。
特朗普上周终止了该协议。
“伊朗伊斯兰共和国要求我们继续‘谈判’，”他在真相社交平台上表示，“我们同意这样做，但美国已经明确无误地告知他们，停火结束了！”
这可能会再次激起民主党人继续推动限制其在该地区战争权力的努力，未来几周内将有更多关于战争权力决议的投票。
议员们已成功通过一项非约束性决议，限制其在伊朗的权力，但未能将一项全面的战争权力决议提交特朗普签署。
“国会投票反对与伊朗开启更多战争，”弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“美国在未经国会授权的情况下，不应发动新的打击，重启一场推高油价、造成美军人员伤亡、损害经济的战争。美国和伊朗必须恢复停火。”

Nominations, renewed fighting in Iran, government funding and President Donald Trump’s flagship election bill await the Senate as it returns this week.
The upper chamber is coming back after a more than two-week hiatus to sprint through the remainder of July and march into the first week of August. And priorities have piled up, be it over divisions between the aisles or within the Senate GOP.
Adding to the uphill climb is the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., meaning that Republicans will be down one key vote in their push to move Trump’s agenda.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., will be put to the task of keeping his conference together, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats are likely to look for any fractures they can in the GOP’s unity to slow down Trump’s agenda.

But Trump has done his part to derail some aspects of his own agenda, much of it over his determination to force Republicans to pass his flagship election integrity legislation, the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.
He already refused to sign a massive, bipartisan housing package in protest of the stalled legislation and now wants the GOP to attach the SAVE America Act to the perennial, must-pass National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which needs Democratic votes to pass. Adding the voter bill to the military funding authorization package would all but guarantee no Democrats would support it.
Republicans hope to begin the process on the NDAA in July and fear that trying to attach the SAVE America Act would just hand Schumer and Democrats leverage.
“We really empower the Democrats to have a reason to be able to stop stuff that otherwise they would probably have to vote for, whether it’s the NDAA, whether it’s an appropriations bill or whatever,” Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital.

“They found that this can be an Achilles heel for Republicans because, as soon as we attach it to any kind of bill, they know the votes aren’t there because, at a 60-vote margin, they’ll never get us the votes because they know how important it is to us,” he continued.
One key priority left over from before Republicans left town is replacing acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Bill Pulte, whose appointment by Trump in June blew up Congress’ push to reauthorize one of the nation’s key anti-terrorism tools over calls from both sides of the aisle that he was unqualified for the position.
His replacement, Jay Clayton, will appear for his confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, weeks after Trump yanked his initial hearing and further threw into doubt lawmakers’ ability to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Another Trump pick, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, will also have his confirmation hearing this week. Blanche, like any nominee, made the rounds with lawmakers before the recess explaining his role in the president’s now-defunct anti-weaponization fund. Whether he survives the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing remains in the air, given some Republicans are skeptical of him. Among those is Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who, for now, appears willing to support Blanche.

“I’m going to go through the nomination process. I have got a positive predisposition towards Blanche,” Tillis told CNN.
Republicans are also eager to begin the government funding process and put to the test their fears that Democrats will again shut down the government for a political edge.
Rounds, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, told Fox News Digital that he expected a handful of spending bills to make their way to the Senate floor during the July sprint.
Senate Democrats have told him they want to fund the government through appropriations, but fear that the Trump administration may withhold funding on some of their priorities. Whether they actually give Republicans the votes to pass the funding bills remains in the air.
“If they don’t do that, then we’ll know pretty well that the political side of the discussion is taking a priority for them,” Rounds said. “And then we just as well start negotiating for a continuing resolution to get through the election and let the chips fall.”
Another issue that could cause Democratic support for legislation to evaporate is the administration’s renewed strikes in Iran, which began last week over frustrations with ships being stymied by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
Several lawmakers on both sides of the aisle disliked Trump’s temporary agreement with Iran to continue negotiating a longer-lasting peace over the next two months, but welcomed the pause in fighting that came with it.
Trump nixed that last week.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks,’” he said on Truth Social. “We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!”
That will likely once again stoke Democrats’ continued push to rein in his war authorities in the region with even more votes on war powers resolutions in the coming weeks.
Lawmakers successfully passed a non-binding resolution to curb his authority in Iran, but fell short of pushing a full-blown war powers resolution to Trump’s desk.
“Congress voted against more war with Iran,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told Fox News Digital in a statement. “The U.S. should not be launching new strikes without congressional authorization and restarting a war that has raised gas prices, killed Americans, and hurt the economy. The U.S. and Iran must return to a ceasefire.”
