The South Carolina Senator said he was already trying to reach the Democrats outside the banking committee to “provide a cover” to vote for the bill.
Scott said, “We had 18 Democrats votes for the Genius Act.” “I believe that we will have at least open to vote for market structure between 12 and 18 Democrats, a more complex piece of law, and force against it (…) It is a real force to remove.”

Realistic expectations for bipartisan support?
The Republican Senate holds a three-seat majority, there is a possibility that they will need some democrats to pass the law for the crypto market structure. In addition to Scott’s comments from Vyoming, the banking committee ranking member Elizabeth Warren commented on the Clarity Act during the Congress holiday.
“We need a crypto regulation,” Warren said in the August 10 interview. “But we do not need regulation written by the Crypto industry … We need regulation that limits corruption and limits the ability of elected officials to trade it, which also limits the ability to fly the economy with Crypto.”
More than 70 Democrats in the House of Representatives biased with Republicans to pass the Classes Act in July, suggesting that the legalists on both sides of the corridor in the Senate could consider supporting the bill. Chamber is scheduled to end its holiday on 2 September.
