“I don’t want to be overly critical, but I think there are some elements of what we’ve worked through that might be superior,” added Rep. Zoe Lofgren , who’s spearheading the select panel’s pitch to change the law that Trump backers used to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence. “So, hopefully, we’ll come up with a melded version that serves the country.”
Proponents of the Senate’s effort note that the bipartisan proposal, led by Sens. Susan Collins and Joe Manchin , is a draft that will likely see some changes before any floor action. The Senate Rules Committee, one of two panels with jurisdiction over the topic, is scheduled to hold a hearing next week.
