John Kennedy says failed Clarity Act vote may be revisited in lame-duck session

The failed vote on the Clarity Act may not be the end of the bill, according to comments cited by a Fox Business crypto reporter on X. U.S. Senator John Kennedy said he was "not surprised" by the vote’s failure and does not see the legislation as dead. He said Democratic colleagues understand the need for a deliberately designed market structure framework for cryptocurrencies, though any renewed work would likely have to wait until the lame-duck session. Senator Ted Cruz struck a sharper tone. Referring to the film The Princess Bride, he said there is a major difference between a bill being "dead" and "mostly dead," and said he hopes the measure can come back to life. Cruz also blamed Democrats for the failed vote, accusing them of "playing politics" and pushing crypto industry activity and jobs overseas.
