WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of senators pushing legislation designed to prevent a repeat of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol say a vote on the package isn't likely until after election day.
"We've talked about it as recently as [Wednesday] to try to find a window when we can take it up," Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, D-Md., said in an interview. "There are still some open issues that need to be resolved, so we're not quite ready to make that decision. But every day we wait makes it more likely it's [going to happen in the] lame duck [session]."
The Senate returned from a summer recess this week, but is focusing largely on judicial nominations.
