Senate Democrats are pushing for a vote on a bipartisan bill to ban congressional stock trading before the November elections. The bill, known as the ETHICS Act, aims to prohibit members of Congress from trading stocks to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure they work for their communities rather than personal gain. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has already advanced the bill with an 8-4 vote. Key supporters include Senators Jeff Merkley, Josh Hawley, Rick Scott, Jon Ossoff, and Gary Peters. Senators who voted against the bill include Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, James Lankford, and Mitt Romney. The bill now moves to the Senate floor for a final vote.
