WASHINGTON _ Despite the momentum from the #MeToo movement _ which helped elect historic numbers of women to Congress last week _ lawmakers are still stuck over how to deal with sexual harassment in the House and Senate.
Both chambers passed different bills earlier in the year to revamp how Congress would handle staff and member harassment. But talks to write a final bill haven't made concrete headway in months.
And even though Congress returned to work this week, only days after this year's elections, senators and representatives still haven't formally met to talk about harassment reform. Only staff-level meetings have been held.
