While the timing and optics of this isn't great, I can't really berate the Senate for this, or the GOP, when it is very common for both chambers and both parties to do this. The typical work week in Washington for all of them is Tuesday through Thursday. Should something like this keep them in Washington longer? Sure. But they have campaigning to do. It also should be noted that it is likely that Pelosi, knowing all of this as she does, purposely set this up for the optics.
