Senate Democrats block bill restricting lawmaker stock trading
Original: Senate Democrats block bill to restrict lawmaker stock trading
Senate Democrats have blocked legislation that would have restricted stock trading by members of Congress. The bill, which had drawn bipartisan public support, failed to advance in the chamber. Critics accused Democrats of walking back reform promises, while defenders cited concerns over the bill's scope and enforcement. The vote reignites debate over conflicts of interest among lawmakers who trade individual stocks while in office.
Why now: The vote contradicts longstanding promises to ban congressional stock trading, angering reform advocates.
