Senate Democrats block bill to limit lawmakers' stock trades
A Republican-led effort to approve a House-passed stock trading bill fell short in the Senate, with Democrats saying the restrictions don't go far enough and pushing back against a voter ID provision.
What the coverage shows
CBS News and The Hill both foreground Senate Democrats blocking a stock-trading restriction bill, and both note Democratic objections that the measure did not go far enough. CBS News alone adds that the effort was Republican-led, that it was a House-passed bill, and that Democrats pushed back against a voter ID provision. The Hill alone identifies the sponsor as vulnerable GOP incumbent Pete Ricketts and frames the bill as barring lawmakers from buying new stocks of publicly traded companies.
