Senate Bows to Reality, Leaving Trump’s Voting Bill Undone
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- The Senate adjourned at 4:36 a.m. on Saturday without advancing the voting restriction bill President Trump has pushed for months.
- Republican senators had pledged to work hard to pass election changes aimed at helping the party win midterm elections.
- Despite their promises, lawmakers left Washington with no significant progress, only holding a symbolic early-morning procedural vote on a diluted version of the bill.
- The procedural vote was largely performative, as senators were aware the bill would not pass.
