Quote from google AI:

“As of early 2026, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is the Chair of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, following leadership changes in the 119th Congress. He leads the committee, which oversees federal elections, campaign finance law, and Senate operating procedures.”

Here is a great article about it from The New Republic:

His reasoning is not sound, but the outcome is helping keep this legislation from seeing the light of day for the time being.
