Members of Congress will return to Washington next week for a few days before heading out for the stretch run to the November elections.

South Dakota Senator John Thune says there are some issues they need to address, but much of that will depend on the schedule from Majority Leader Harry Reid…

 

While the numbers keep shifting, Thune says it looks like republicans have a good chance of taking majority control of the Senate following the November elections…

 

Thune says no matter who controls the Senate, they know that President Obama will continue in office through the end of 2016…

 

Thune, the number three republican in the Senate, could be the next Chair of the Commerce Committee if republicans can take control of the Senate.
