Odaily News: Fox Business crypto reporter posted on X platform, saying that procedural matters related to the ongoing continuing resolution may explain why Senate Majority Leader John Thune did not file a cloture motion tonight on the motion to advance the Clarity Act, but a lack of votes and major issues still under discussion could also be factors.
Once procedural matters related to the continuing resolution are resolved, expectations are rising that Thune could file the cloture motion as early as tomorrow. If he files the motion, a potential Clarity Act vote would hit the schedule 30 hours later.
The bill still has unresolved issues, including the lack of a bipartisan ethics agreement, the White House's refusal to take a position, and ongoing disagreements surrounding BRCA. However, he has heard from multiple sources that some people now want lawmakers to go on the record with an official vote, even if the bill does not pass.
