Dozens of House Democrats reject bill fusing congressional stock ban with federal voter ID

The House passed a GOP-backed bill banning congressional stock trading with a 232-198 vote, supported by thirteen Democrats. Simultaneously, House Republicans approved a $95 billion reconciliation 3.0 budget framework, passing 216-214. This package includes $73 billion for the Iran war, $12 billion in farm aid, and $10 billion for voting restrictions. While the stock ban bill also included federal voter ID requirements, dozens of House Democrats rejected the fusion of these two distinct legislative goals.
