🚨NEW: @SenJohnKennedy (R-LA) just told me he “wasn’t surprised” the Clarity Act vote failed but does not believe the bill is necessarily dead. “I think my Democratic colleagues understand that we need to design a market structure for cryptocurrency that looks like somebody designed it on purpose. But it’s gonna have to wait until the lame duck session.” @SenTedCruz (R-TX) invoked his favorite movie, The Princess Bride: “There’s a big difference between dead and mostly dead. I hope it comes back to life.” Cruz blamed Democrats for the failure, saying they are “playing politics” and pushing crypto activity and jobs overseas.
