Here's why it won't pass:

This vote will need 60 votes to advance in the Senate
Almost every Democrat will vote against it

Why?

The Stop Insider Trading Act includes an extra provision that has nothing to do with a stock ban

It's a stock ban + voter ID stuff that would require voters to provide a valid photo ID when voting, among other things

This has led to a filibuster, with Democrats drawing out debate and preventing the bill from getting a final vote

That's why Republicans are pushing for a vote on cloture, which would allow the Senate to move forward with the legislation (requires 60 votes)

If the unlikely scenario happens and they get the 60 votes they need, the Senate could then proceed to an actual vote on the bill

If the bill isn't passed by Jan 3, 2027, it will die and have to be reintroduced in the next Congress

If this week's vote doesn't reach 60 votes, the bill will likely get pushed to the back burner simply bc there isn't enough time, care, or effort to try again

They'll just be like, "welp, we tried"

Our opinion ^

If Republicans can't pass this bill while controlling both chambers, imagine how impossible it will be if Democrats win majority in just one chamber
