4 OUTLETSThe Senate failed to advance a bill combining limits on lawmakers’ stock trades with federal voter ID requirements. Schumer objected to the voter ID provision and said the stock-trading restrictions were inadequate. Center outlets focus on the failed vote and disagreements over whether the stock-trading limits were sufficient and whether voter ID belonged in the bill. Right-leaning outlets frame the Democrats’ move as blocking a Republican agenda, while highlighting Schumer’s claim that voter ID was added to make the bill fail.
