Tribal Sovereignty Wins a Senate Pause on the CLARITY Act

Senate rejected a procedural motion needed to advance the CLARITY Act on Tuesday, blocking legislation that tribal-gaming operators and lawmakers said was a crucial step toward stopping prediction-market companies from offering sports-event contracts outside state and tribal gaming systems. Senators voted 49-50 against cloture, falling well short of the 60 votes required. The failed vote rejected a procedural step that limits debate on whether to take up the legislation at all.
