U.S. Senate Aims to Advance Clarity Bill for Procedural Vote Before August Recess

Odaily News: U.S. Senate Republicans are hoping to push the Clarity bill to a procedural vote before the August recess, but face hurdles such as a tight legislative calendar, wavering support from some GOP lawmakers, and Democratic concerns over the Trump family's crypto earnings. The bill's fate hinges on the votes of moderate Democrats, though progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren has warned that supporting the bill would mean compromising with special interests and could potentially benefit the Trump family. The core dispute remains centered on an ethics clause, with Democrats demanding restrictions on Trump profiting from crypto ventures. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego is working with North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis on a counter-proposal that would introduce a mechanism for state attorneys general to jointly enforce the law alongside the Department of Justice.
