The Capitol was quiet this week as members of both the House and the Senate returned home to their districts for the 4th of July recess. Although some members did not choose to have public events with their constituents, many of those who did faced tough questions about the Republicans' efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
President Trump was also out of Washington for much of the week. He left for the second overseas trip of his presidency on Wednesday.
There were no hearings this week due to the recess.
