Sen. Roger Marshall once again threatened to derail a must-pass bill that includes military and veterans funding if his credit card legislation is not included.
“Politically, I think it’s the right time. I think that we can win the vote now,” Marshall said. The Kansas senator, who introduced the bill with Sen. Dick Durbin , said conversations on the bill have been “very positive.”on Wednesday that there are not “really any conversations going” about his and Durbin’s legislation targeting credit card fees.
This is not the first time that Marshall has threatened to derail a must-pass bill if he does not get a vote on his credit card legislation, otherwise known as the Credit Card Competition Act. Marshall then appeared to back off after receiving assurances that his legislation would receive a vote this Congress. However, now, it appears that he will slow down the bill that includes military funding unless the Senate also votes on his bill with Durbin.
