This afternoon, Senators voted 62-37 to move the Respect for Marriage Act to the Senate for an up-and-down vote in the near future. Sixty votes were needed to overcome the filibuster and send it to the floor. Arizona Democratic Sen. Krysten Sinema, one of the negotiators for the bill said, “Together with broad bipartisan support, the Senate will provide certainty to millions of Americans in loving marriages and enshrine into law the basic protections afforded all Americans while respecting our country's critical principle of religious liberty.” Senator Chuck Schumer said he wants to pass the bill and send it to President Joe Biden for his signature as soon as possible though it would have to go back to the House first. #breakingnews
