Maar Thune had in zijn opmerkingen van donderdag ook gesuggereerd dat de Senaat moet zien “waar de stemmen zijn” over Clarity. As it stands, the ethics section and a few other points are the subject of contentious debate, and the bill can't yet count on the 60 yesses it would need to pass.
Democratic lawmakers such as Maryland's Senator Angela Alsobrooks, who was one of two Democrats who voted to approve the bill in committee, have said the bill "falls short" and "must be strengthened," while Republicans such as Senator Bernie Moreno urged that Democrats' "lies" be ignored when it comes to the "most powerful ethics language in US history."
The other Democrat who voted for Clarity in committee and was a lead negotiator on the section limiting government officials reportedly used even saltier language in his description of the draft.
Sommige Republikeinen, zoals senator Thom Tillis, hebben ook hun bezorgdheid geuit over de taal in zijn huidige vorm.
Another lawmaker at the center of the talks, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis, wrote in a Friday posting on social media site X that "instead of doing the minimum, President Trump voluntarily agreed to tougher guardrails, meaningful enforcement and greater transparency than the law demanded. That’s leadership that sets a higher standard."
