NEWS w/ @jordainc: Senate GOP leaders are expecting to leave Washington for August recess without holding a vote on the Clarity Act Majority Leader John Thune may still file cloture on the bill, but it likely won’t come to the floor until next month politico.com/live-updates/20…

I am committed to supporting Congress in advancing the CLARITY Act, including providing technical assistance. American leadership in the digital finance revolution means matching the energy of American innovators with a regulatory framework worthy of them.

On Thune's agenda: -noms package + Clayton (confirmation expected Tues) + Blanche (Cmte vote this week) -Gov funding (talks going well) -Russia sanctions (first vote Tuesday) -starting clarity What he's likely to be asked about: Trump saying adopt budget pre-August / Mike Lee's tweets politico.com/newsletters/ins…

There’s eight days of floor time before recess and GOP leaders are prioritizing noms (Clayton and a package, possibly Sonderling and Blanche), Russia sanctions and government funding. Lots of work to do to make even those come together At this point doing clarity or college sports on the floor would probably require an adjustment to the recess. Each bill would take roughly a week on the floor
I’ve had many conversations since this came out yesterday, and it doesn’t reflect the current state of play. There is a clear path to pass the Clarity Act before the recess on August 7 – and we must seize it. To the crypto community: This is our moment. We can get this done. 🇺🇸

Every senator working on crypto policy has been trying to use the August recess as deadline pressure to make a deal. Now it's gone. "If we don't have a positive vote, before the August break, I think the odd shift against us," Sen. Kennedy (R-La.) told me yesterday.
👀 Majority Leader THUNE told reporters the Clarity Act likely won't pass the Senate before August. Asked about Clarity and NIL before recess, Thune said: "I don’t think we’ll be able to get them done. I would like to at least get Clarity started. We’ll see where the votes are."

CLARITY is stalled exactly where the arithmetic puts it, and attention was never the problem. 5 of 8 steps are done: House passed it 294-134, Senate Banking advanced it 15-9, calendar-eligible since June 1. The last three (60 votes in Senate, House passage, POTUS signature) are the hard part, with no cloture motion filed and about three usable Senate weeks before the August recess. Three disputes are doing the blocking: ethics/insider-trading, Section 604 developer liability, stablecoin yield. And unlike GENIUS, CLARITY has no bank-and-payments constituency forcing them shut. The real risk is inertia. Polymarket has been the live whip count: ~59% in June, sub-40% after the July 4 miss, ~43% now. It's tracking the same disputes staffers are negotiating. This isn't dead, and it's nowhere near guaranteed. The next three weeks are the closing act.
