Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he would like to see the upper chamber now vote on legislation to codify the right to same-sex and interracial marriage after 47 Republicans joined Democrats in the House in approving the measure on Tuesday night.

July 20, 2022, 4:46 PMSenate Majority Leader Sen. Church Schumer speaks at a Senate Democratic caucus leadership press conference on July 19, 2022, in Washington, D.C.

"We need this legislation, and we urge Congress to move as quickly as possible," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said aboard Air Force One on Wednesday. "It's something the vast majority of the country support, just like they support restoring Roe [v. Wade], stopping a national abortion ban and protecting the right to use contraception."

"Every day we make progress," Baldwin said. "I want to do everything yesterday when you're talking about equal rights and equality and protecting civil rights," she added."There's obviously no urgency because there's no prospect of the law changing anytime soon," he told ABC News. "I'll evaluate the bill if it gets here."

Sen. Thom Tillis speaks with members of the media following a vote in the basement of the US Capitol, in Washington, D.C., July 19, 2022.While some congressional Republicans have argued the bill over-states the danger to national marriage rights and is being used as a political tool, Portman said the bill sends an important message even if it fails to gain the necessary support.
