House Republicans returning from August recess must navigate opposition to a provision in stopgap funding legislation that would delay a prohibition on most hemp-derived THC products until Dec. 11. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, who helped drive last year’s legislation establishing the ban, is campaigning against the delay but has not explicitly said he will vote against the continuing resolution. The Senate rejected an attempt by Sen. Ted Budd to remove the delay language by a 61-32 vote, although 21 Republicans and 11 Democrats supported the effort. Senate Republicans are expected to revisit the issue, while White House officials have reportedly told senators they will not seek another delay. The Hill’s Healthcare newsletter also highlighted updated COVID-19 vaccine approvals for higher-risk people, questions from Trump administration officials about Pennsylvania measles deaths, and policy views from South Carolina Senate Democratic nominee Annie Andrews.
