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 end-of-year December 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 includes a high-level recap of the final 2024 election results. It also includes overviews of the FY 2025 Continuing Resolution and the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, both of which have been signed into law. We also take a look at the newly-announced 2025 congressional schedules. Furthermore, we provide a preview of congressional party leadership and the congressional committees for the 119th Congress. Additionally, we share an overview of President-elect Donald Trump’s key White House and administration appointments and nominees.
