A bipartisan crypto moment years in the making
Christa Case Bryant
Editor
It鈥檚 a fraught time in Congress. Republicans are squabbling among themselves, managing their base鈥檚 frustration over the Epstein files, and bracing for the White House鈥檚 second rescissions package to defund federal programs.
Yet there鈥檚 a significant bipartisan moment even amid all that.
Three years ago, I ran into GOP Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming in a deserted tunnel under the Capitol complex. A former congresswoman, she told me that after the Jan. 6 attack she hardly recognized the place, it was so 鈥�irredeemably hateful.鈥� But, she added, she had found a saving grace in working across the aisle on crypto.
Last week, 17 Democrats joined her and her GOP colleagues to pass a landmark crypto bill 68-30. The House approved that along strong bipartisan lines, with more than 70% of the chamber in favor, and passed a second crypto bill that now awaits Senate passage.
