The U.S. Senate just moments ago passed the Democrat’s version of the bill reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) after a contentious few weeks in which Republicans were angered by upgrades that extended protections to LGBT people, immigrants, and Native Americans. The bill passed by a vote of 68-31.
“The GOP-led House is set to pass a scaled back version, in which case the two chambers would have to sort out their differences in conference committee,” Talking Points Memo reports.
