What happened
The Stop Insider Trading Act, introduced by Pete Ricketts, aimed to prohibit members of Congress from purchasing stocks. The measure failed to overcome the 60-vote filibuster, with the vote falling 53-47. The bill had previously passed through the House, with some Democrats joining Republicans to pass it.

Why it matters
The failure of the bill means that the ban on congressional stock trading did not pass. The legislation was described as allowing previous gains from insider trading to remain with members of Congress.
