Senator Cynthia Lummis said the decision to postpone a vote on the Clarity Act until September is no reason to quit, calling the fight for the bill far from over. In an Aug. 7, 2026 post on X, Lummis, a supporter of the bill, said she had put long and hard work into the effort and that her frustration was easy to imagine after the Senate pushed the vote to September. She argued that the industry deserves clear rules under which to flourish on American soil, consumers deserve protection from fraud and confidence to participate in the digital economy, and law enforcement needs tools to hold bad actors accountable. She called the Clarity Act the only route to those goals and said the status quo is failing on every front. She pledged to continue working with colleagues until the broken system is repaired, vowed not to give up, and stressed that the struggle is not finished.
The U.S. Senate on Aug. 7 delayed a vote on the Clarity Act until September. Senator Cynthia Lummis, a supporter of the bill, responded on X with a message expressing frustration and resolve.
Lummis said she had put long and difficult work into the legislation, so her disappointment at the delay was easy to imagine. “Someday I will have more to say,” she wrote, “but suffice it to say, we've come this far and now is not the time to give up.”
She made clear she has no intention of walking away. The industry, in her view, deserves clear rules and the chance to thrive on American soil. Consumers deserve protection from fraud and confidence to take part in the country's digital economy. Law enforcement, she added, should have the tools to hold bad actors accountable.
“The Clarity Act is the only path to achieving these goals,” Lummis wrote. She described the current state of affairs as broken in every respect, and said she won't rest until the system is fixed. She pledged to keep working with colleagues to reach that objective. “This fight is far from over.”
