Most Senate insiders expect Tuesday's procedural vote on the CLARITY Act to fail, with the main obstacle still a deadlock over ethics provisions tied to U.S. President Donald Trump and his family's crypto business. According to Foresight News, Democrats want to limit Trump's ability to profit from the family crypto business, while Republicans say Democrats should first support moving the bill forward and continue negotiations during Senate consideration.
The Senate also faces several other legislative priorities this week, including a college sports bill and a data center power bill. With only three working weeks left before the midterm elections, lawmakers are competing for space on the agenda.
