The Senate Rules Committee gridlocked on nearly 40 proposed amendments to the For the People Act during a hearing Tuesday. Democrats were unable to strike a compromise with Republicans, dooming the bill to near-certain defeat on the Senate floor.
Democrats have prioritized the bill’s passage. It would make a wide range of changes to federal elections, including implementing a public financing system for all federal candidates, expanding vote-by-mail programs and instituting automatic voter registration.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), a longtime proponent of “dark money” and corporate spending, leads Republican opposition to the bill. During the hearing, he proposed an amendment to neutralize a provision requiring 501(c)(4) political nonprofits to disclose the identities of donors giving more than $10,000. The amendment failed by vote of 9-9.
Do Democrats Have a Realistic Path Forward on Their Voting Bills?

The Senate on Tuesday took up the For the People Act, a sweeping bill to overhaul the country’s election system, the first step in what will probably be a long and winding legislative process. Democrats are faced with not only the all-out resistance of Republicans, but also the hesitation of their own 50th vote, Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, the lone Democrat in the chamber who hasn’t signed on as a sponsor of the bill.
