Senate pauses for party caucuses; Democrats, Republicans meet in separate rooms
Summary
Senators announced that Democrats will caucus in Room 24 and Republicans will caucus in Room 22; the presiding officer placed the Senate at ease to allow caucuses to convene.
Senators announced same-day party caucuses and the presiding officer temporarily put the Senate at ease.
Senator Weiner informed the chamber that "Democrats will caucus in Room 24." Later, after recognition, a Republican notice stated that "Republicans will caucus in Room 22." Following those announcements the presiding officer said the Senate would be at ease to allow both parties to caucus.
These remarks were logistical and procedural; no formal votes or legislative actions were taken during the announcements.
