Patrick McHenry says crypto needs lasting political influence

The story so far: Clarity Act passage prospects

The CLARITY Act passed the House in 2025 but failed a Senate procedural vote in September 2026 and would lapse on 3 January 2027 without 60 Senate votes. The Senate has now voted 49-50 against advancing the bill, and Representative Tom Emmer expects another attempt after the midterms.
