Senate Democrats block bill to limit lawmakers' stock trades
A Republican-led effort to approve a House-passed stock trading bill fell short in the Senate, with Democrats saying the restrictions don't go far enough and pushing back against a voter ID provision.
What the coverage shows
CBS News and The Guardian US converge on the Senate blocking a Republican-led stock trading bill and on Democrats saying the restrictions did not go far enough. Both also note that a voter ID provision was part of the dispute. The Guardian alone frames the measure as a Republican bill and says Democrats described the voter ID language as a “poison pill.”
