Senate votes on data center, insider trading bills
The Senate will vote on bills that would ban members from trading stocks while in office, and to address data center-related utility costs, amid Democratic opposition.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as the Senate preparing votes on two bills, one on stock trading by lawmakers and one on data centers. CNBC alone adds that the data-center measure is meant to address utility costs and says Democratic opposition is involved. The Hill’s live update adds more political framing, saying the votes are part of John Thune’s effort to give Republican incumbents a political lifeline, while its later headline is more neutral.
