The Senate voted 53-47 to advance the Stop Insider Trading Act, but the measure fell short of the 60 votes needed to move forward. The procedural vote fell along party lines.
The bill would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children from purchasing individual stocks and strengthen disclosure and enforcement requirements.
Sen. Todd Young argued Americans “should not have to wonder whether votes in Congress are influenced by what’s best for the country, or by what is best for the investment portfolios of those serving in Congress.”
The legislation also included a voter-ID requirement, which Democrats called a “poison pill.”
“Never forget the overwhelming majority of Democrats vote to allow corruption and fraud. Shameful,” Speaker Johnson wrote.
