Republicans in the US have delivered what they're calling a 'final' offer to Democrats on the CLARITY Act. According to sources, the revised bill now runs 635 pages and features ethics provisions championed by Donald Trump. This move comes just two days before a pivotal procedural vote.
What Happened
Party negotiators rolled out the revamped version as their last word on the legislative package. The updated text includes the Trump-backed ethics standards, pushing the bill's length to 635 pages. The timing is crucial, with the procedural vote looming and the bill's fate in Congress hanging in the balance.
Context and What’s Next
Sending over the 'final' version just 48 hours before the official process cranks up is upping the pressure on both sides, leaving little room for tweaks. The main sticking point is the set of ethics rules now baked into the latest draft. Next steps will depend on how the upcoming vote shakes out—and whether either party is ready to cut a deal.
