"Chuck Schumer needs to hold this vote now. No 'religious liberty' amendments, no more whipping of votes," argued one progressive commentator.Senate Democrats on Thursday opted to delay a vote on legislation codifying same-sex marriage rights into federal law until after the November midterms, seeking more time to get the 10 Republican supporters needed for final passage.
The bipartisan group had originally planned to release legislative text as soon as Thursday ahead of a potential procedural vote early next week. Meanwhile, Republicans who have yet to back the measureSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer agreed Thursday to push the vote back after Baldwin, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema , and the three GOP supporters requested more time to win additional Republican votes for the bill, which would codify same-sex marriage rights in the face of a potential attack from the U.
Justin Goodman, a spokesperson for Schumer, subsequently released a statement saying the Democratic leader is"extremely disappointed that there aren't 10 Republicans in the Senate willing to vote yes on marriage equality legislation at this time."
