Bill to limit stock trading in US Congress set to be blocked in Senate

A Republican-led effort to approve a House-passed bill aimed at limiting stock trading for US Congress members was blocked in the Senate. Senate Democrats halted the legislation, arguing that the proposed restrictions are insufficient. Additionally, Democrats expressed opposition to a specific voter ID provision included in the bill. Consequently, the measure to restrict lawmakers' stock trades failed to secure the necessary support to move forward within the Senate, leaving the current trading rules unchanged.
