Senate blocks data center and stock trading bills
Original: Senate blocks data center, stock trading bills ahead of November midterms
The US Senate has blocked legislation concerning data centers and congressional stock trading, with the votes failing ahead of the November midterm elections. The stock trading measure, which would have restricted lawmakers' ability to trade individual stocks, has been a subject of bipartisan public pressure but stalled in the chamber. The outcomes may shape campaign messaging as candidates weigh in on congressional ethics and technology issues.
Why now: The failed votes land weeks before the November midterms, making them politically charged.
