The House of Representatives will no longer come back in session on May 4, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday on a call with reporters.
Hoyer instead said the Congressional session would resume 'very soon,' but he explained that the Attending Physician of the United States Congress, Dr. Brian Monahan, indicated it was too much of a health risk for members to come back to Washington, D.C., because coronavirus cases in the area hadn't decreased in number yet.
'There was a risk to members that he would not recommend taking,' Hoyer said.
The No. 2 Democrat also said the session was delayed because CARES 2, the next coronavirus package Congress will take up, isn't ready for a vote yet.
Hoyer's announcement was an about-face, as House Democrats were informed on a call Monday that they were to come back to town in one week's time.
A number of House Democrats rebelled against that plan, with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat who previously led the Democratic National Committee, calling the move 'dangerous,' Politico reported.
President Trump had a different take after the cancellation was announced Tuesday, telling reporters that Democrats are 'enjoying their vacation.'
'Yeah, I think they are, I think they are,' Trump said. 'Look at Nancy Pelosi eating ice cream on late night television, yeah I think they probably are having a good time.'

You don’t need to be a doctor to determine that bringing back Ice Cream Nancy and her scumbag friends is dangerous for the US.
MS Teams works well.
So Trump has stayed and fought the virus while Congress ran away.
But they’re still getting paid.
LOL.... a guilt trip ??? SERIOUSLY? Based on what ?
BTW, Voting by mail is controlled by the individual states.
Do you actually think Nancy can get MANDATORY mail in ballots passed in the House. ? LOL...
If they are not coming back shouldn’t they forego their salary also!!!!!
Maybe if pecker puss Pelosi didn’t wire her snot face all over the podium it wouldn’t be dangerous for congress to adjourn. Most likely the real truth is that pecker puss is revolted by the cooties the squad brings into the chamber. Especially the hairy, greasy skank, AOC.
If the physician wants to keep his job, he better say what Pelosi orders him to say
I guess the guy who teaches the Congressional Democrat “how to properly put on a Face Mask” Class couldn’t make it to DC.
Pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Care to explain? What blackmail? What guilt trip?
Of course Washington DC isn't 100% safe. It will never be 100% safe. Ask Seth Rich.
March 11: Monahan told staffers that about 80% of people who contract coronavirus will ultimately be fine, one of the sources said. Monahan’s office declined to comment.
Meanwhile, Democratic and Republican leaders on Capitol Hill have told lawmakers they have no immediate plans to close Congress, despite it being a potential petri dish for the virus.
That was then. Nancy is now.
3/4 of them are in the high risk age group.
It’s all about visuals. Nancy was wiping her snotty nose and the microphone. So the next day, they all wore masks. They all look like idiots wearing masks while President Trump has appeared day after day with lots of people and yet he stands tall and unafraid. They have no excuse. The president is a senior citizen, too. They can’t use that as an excuse. The president does not take his paycheck. Yet they have greedily voted themselves a raise and do not come to work.
Oh, and they now have to pretend to be scared and stay holed up because it’s just too dangerous to go out. It’s too dangerous to vote in person. blah blah blah
So she was just in DC? Do WE have to pay to fly her back to SanFran and her ice cream stock or does she have an equally well stocked freezer in DC, too?
It’s her liquor cabinet that the late night shows should ask to see. I’m sure it’s pricier than her ice cream.
The sky is falling!
And Trump is meeting with Lord knows how many people, too. Probably far more than the Congress Critters meet with.
