Senate Democrats will have to decide in upcoming weeks whether or not they will make changes to the For the People Act, a sweeping voting, ethics and campaign finance bill, in order to garner support when it comes to the floor later this month

The internal caucus discussions are just getting underway and no final decisions have been made yet about what changes could be made to the bill to help get Democratic members comfortable, but the reality is that the legislation does not currently have the backing of every member of the caucus and more work still has to be done.Democratic aides warn that next few weeks will test the party's resolve in hammering out complicated issues as a caucus.

The amendment also sought to lower the requirements for how many early voting days were required in areas with a population less than 3,000 residents. Rural election officials had argued that requiring 15 days of early voting was too expensive.Those are just a few of the examples of the changes Democrats could pursue.Over the last month, Democrats have held two caucus-wide meetings on the issue.
