Senate Democrats block stock trading ban before election recess

Original: Senate Democrats sink 'toothless' stock trading ban, data center bill in last act before election recess

Senate Democrats rejected a proposed ban on stock trading by members of Congress, along with a data center bill, in their final votes before leaving for the election recess. Critics had dismissed the trading ban as toothless, arguing it lacked real enforcement, and the defeats leave both measures dead for now.

Why now: Lawmakers' conflicts of interest over congressional stock trading remain a contentious issue heading into the election.
