Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial(@TruthTrumpPost):Senate's CLARITY Act cloture vote failed 49-50, short of the 60 needed to advance the bill. This was a bill Trump himself had already signed off on regarding the ethics provisions the single toughest sticking point in the entire negotiation which means Republicans made the concession Democrats said they needed and still couldn't get a single Democratic vote to advance debate. Sending a counteroffer only hours before a scheduled cloture vote isn't a serious negotiating move on a bill that had been in the works for months; it's the kind of eleventh hour maneuver designed to let a party say it tried to negotiate right up until the point it was too late for anyone to actually evaluate the offer.
