WASHINGTON—After a long recess that began in September, both houses of the 118th Congress will return on Nov. 12 for its final session. It’s the first time the legislature will convene after general elections on Nov. 5, in which Republicans gained control of the Senate in the 119th Congress that takes office on Jan. 3, 2025.

These include Sen.-elect and current Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who won a general and special election to the Senate seat held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). The special election, as required by state law, is to serve the remaining months of Feinstein’s term in the 118th Congress, with the temporary appointee to that seat, Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), leaving the body accordingly.
Joining the Senate early will give Schiff seniority over all new senators being sworn into office on Jan. 3.

Unlike in California, no special election was held for the seat vacated by former Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) upon his felony conviction. The current temporary appointee, Sen. George Helmy (D-N.J.), plans to resign so Gov. Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) can appoint Kim before his regular term begins. […]
