The Senate will cancel its July 4 recess to remain in session next week during debt-limit talks, Majority Leader Harry Reid said today.

Reid, a Nevada Democrat, spoke a day after President Barack Obama said Congress shouldn’t be taking vacations while the dispute over the national debt remains unresolved. The House is on vacation this week and returns to Washington July 6.
