Senate to vote on bipartisan bill aimed at countering China's influence

The Senate is expected to vote on a bipartisan bill aimed at countering China's global economic and political influence, after last-minute opposition nearly derailed its progress late Thursday night.

After weeks of consideration and multiple votes on amendments on the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, the final vote on the bill was stalled in an overnight session. GOP Senator Ron Johnson argued that the procedure was rushed, and was joined by other Republicans in insisting that more changes be made to the sprawling bill. Multiple Republican senators are expected to speak before the final vote on the bill, but it is still expected to pass.
