Congressional oversight mechanisms are projected to operate with greater force in the House and Senate. The shift follows the midterm elections and is anticipated to continue through the transition period before the new Congress convenes.
Activity is described as likely to increase during the lame-duck session. The same process is expected to gain additional momentum after the midterms conclude. The pattern of stronger congressional checks is presented as an ongoing development rather than an isolated event.
