Keep the Senate in session through the end of the majority

Scott argued that Senate Republicans should remain in Washington and work every day, including through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, until the new Democratic senators are sworn in around January 3. He said they should use their remaining time in the majority to get things done.

Context: He described what Republicans ought to do, not a specific enacted schedule or a commitment that the Senate would follow it.

In their own words

What we ought to do is just stay up there until January 3rd or whatever it is when the new Democrats get sworn in
