The Senate will not be taking any recess breaks early in 2025 as the incoming Republican majority prioritizes confirmation proceedings for nominees to serve in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

The 2025 Senate calendar GOP leaders released Thursday shows that the Senate will be in session for 10 weeks straight — beginning the week of Jan. 6 through the week of March 10 — with breaks only for weekends and Presidents’ Day.

The other federal holiday in that time span, Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls on Jan. 20, which is Inauguration Day. The Senate will be working that day after Mr. Trump is sworn in, likely voting to confirm key national security Cabinet roles.

The first weeklong recess for the chamber is not scheduled until the week of March 17, which gives the Senate two and a half months to devote solely to processing Mr. Trump’s nominees and passing priority legislative agenda items.

“Get ready to work,” incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune, South Dakota Republican, posted on X with a picture of the 2025 calendar.

Mr. Thune had already warned Senate Republicans earlier this week that they should prepare for a busy schedule with at least five voting days a week. Typically the Senate is only in session from Monday evening through Thursday afternoon, even though the official calendar reflects five-day work weeks.
