Senators are preparing to release a bipartisan gun safety framework today, according to people familiar with the negotiations. Their next challenge? Writing legislation that can get 60 votes.
Senators are preparing to release a bipartisan gun safety framework on Sunday, according to multiple people familiar with the negotiations. It would mark a significant breakthrough in Congress’ attempts to address recent back-to-back mass shootings.
More senators are poised to back the bill to demonstrate its breadth of support — to that end, a broader bipartisan group has held its own regular meetings on guns over the past three weeks since the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Those talks have included Sens. Susan Collins , Joe Manchin , Bill Cassidy , Chris Coons , Martin Heinrich , Richard Blumenthal , Lindsey Graham and Pat Toomey .
While Sunday’s announcement is a major breakthrough, translating a framework into an actual bill often proves challenging. During last year’s bipartisan infrastructure negotiations, for example, more than six weeks passed between negotiators’ announcement of a framework and Senate passage of the resulting bill.
