Capital Snapshot: A Monthly Overview of the Issues, Events, Timelines, and Polling Data Driving Federal Policy Decisions

Our Legislative & Public Policy team is pleased to provide the October 2024 edition of “Capital Snapshot,” a monthly summary of the issues, events, and timelines driving federal policy and political decisions. This month’s edition of the Capital Snapshot features a detailed 2024 election preview, in which we provide a deep dive into the state of play of the 2024 Senate elections, 2024 House elections, and 2024 presidential election. We also provide an end-of-year legislative look ahead, and in some cases, a 2025 preview, for a variety of public policy and legislative areas, including (1) the FY25 appropriations process; (2) the FY25 National Defense Authorization Act; (3) financial services; (4) data privacy; (5) artificial intelligence; (6) energy and environment; (7) education; (8) health care; (9) the 2024 Farm Bill; and (10) tax policy. Furthermore, we assess what trends, current events, and factors could impact the upcoming political and legislative landscape.
