The House has already approved a version of the bill, but the proposal faces a tougher road in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to advance.

The House has already approved a version of the bill, but the proposal faces a tougher road in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to advance. Democrats are uniformly opposed, making passage nearly impossible.
