🚨 BREAKING: Senate Democrats voted 53-47 against a bill requiring photo voter ID and banning stock trading by members of Congress.
Every Democrat voted no.
The proposal would have restricted certain stock purchases by lawmakers, their spouses, and dependent children without forcing the immediate sale of existing holdings.
Chuck Schumer called the combined measure “skullduggery,” accusing Republicans of attaching voter ID requirements to force Democratic opposition.
Voter ID + congressional stock ban blocked in one vote.
