Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., urged Democrats to vote against the bill because it included an exemption for Trump and Vance. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, the original bill’s cosponsor, pulled his support when Hawley introduced the modified version, telling lawmakers during a hearing Wednesday “I have no idea what we’re voting for.”

The bill passed the committee with the support of every Democrat and only one Republican, its sponsor, who modified it to shield President Trump from a divestment requirement.

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley voted with Democrats to advance legislation to ban members of Congress from owning individual stocks.
