Negotiations over the Clear Act have reached an impasse, with Republicans accusing Democrats of making no concessions.

TechFlow reports that on September 15, according to The Block, Senator Cynthia Lummis’ spokesperson Katie Worthington stated that the Democratic Party’s revised counterproposal on the latest version of the Clarity Act is identical to its position prior to the recess, which Republicans refused to accept. Worthington noted that Republicans have already made significant concessions across multiple fronts, including agreeing to nearly the entire Tillis-Gallego ethics framework, while Democrats have "not budged an inch," and called on the Democratic side to engage in substantive negotiations.
