Kristen Smith of the Solana Policy Institute discusses the challenges facing the Clarity Act, which requires 60 votes to pass the Senate and needs to navigate a tight legislative schedule before the August recess. The bill's passage is further complicated by potential disagreements on ethics language and the scope of other related legislation.
“So, you know, some of the things I saw were Senate majority leader John Thune said that clarity will likely not have enough votes before the August recess begins.”
“You know, the thing to know about this bill is that you need 60 votes in order for it to pass.”
“So, um, we really need to get this through the Senate now, kick it over back to the House so the House could move quickly in September.”
