Are any of the changes that senators are making worrying you or not yet — they just need to pass it?

Key Hill:

“No, I think they've worked hard to find consensus in the Senate,” Chair French Hill exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “We are staying in touch with them on amendments that they're taking, the approach they've done in their bill and we look forward to working with them on crafting the final product.”

Did we hear your Durbin-Marshall credit card competition amendment is getting a vote as a part of the Senate’s stablecoin debate over the Genius Act?

Key Marshall:

“I don’t know that,” Sen. Roger Marshall exclusively told Ask a Pol. “We’ll see.”

Some people say your measure isn’t related to stablecoin and belongs somewhere else because it could derail entire GENIUS Act — why’s it important to you?

“Well, certainly it's a banking bill, and this has been a Banking Committee issue,” Marshall says. “What's important is, it helps hard working men and women, it helps Main Street so it's important for the American public.”

How are you feeling about stablecoin?

Key Lummis:

“Well, we had a good night last night,” Sen. Cynthia Lummis exclusively told Ask a Pol Tuesday. “So today is going to be about trying to find out who wants to amend the bill. I know Senator Thune is open to an amendment process, and so we're going to try and figure out what amendments might be coming, friendly or unfriendly, and just keep the thing moving.”

Do you worry about the politics we’re seeing being inserted into the crypto debate over in the Senate?

Key Emmer:

“I'm disappointed about that,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer exclusively tells Ask a Pol.

“They're going to be reminded by the community that this is not about Republicans and Democrats. This is just about Americans who want the freedom that this country’s supposed to provide so they can make their decisions on that themselves.”

Does your committee — Senate Agriculture Committee — have any plan? Or you guys don't need to touch the stablecoin bill?

Key Boozman:

“We don't need to touch that, but you know the consensus is that a number of these entities belong under the jurisdiction of the CFTC [Commodity Futures Trading Commission], so that's where we'll come into play,” Boozman exclusively told us. “So we'll be working with Banking and Financial Services over on the House side.”
