The Clarity bill has gained procedural momentum. On Tuesday, Senator Thom Tillis initially voted in favor of the motion to end debate, then switched to oppose it and proposed a reconsideration of the motion. This strategic move positioned Tillis on the winning side, allowing him to demand another vote to end debate while negotiations continue. Tillis stated this is not the end for the Clarity bill, as the procedural motion enables all parties to keep striving for a positive outcome. The initial vote had failed 49 to 50, far short of the required 60 votes. [PANews]
