Section: Regulation

> The tally was 49 in favor and 50 opposed. Emmer expects another attempt after the midterm elections.

The Senate voted 49-50 against advancing the CLARITY Act, blocking the legislation from moving forward and leaving its next anticipated push for after the midterm elections.

Forty-nine votes favored moving the bill ahead, while 50 opposed it, a one-vote margin against advancement. The vote stopped the measure from advancing at this stage. It was a decision on whether the legislation should move forward, and the result was no. Emmer expects another attempt after the midterms, making the post-election period the next stated milestone for the bill.

A renewed effort after the midterms would be separate from the 49-50 vote and would ask the Senate to reconsider advancing the Act. The 50 votes against outnumbered the 49 votes in favor by one. That vote left the bill short of advancing, while Emmer's expectation leaves open a later attempt. The election cycle now separates the failed advancement vote from the next expected try.
