🚨NEW: Vote has passed 217-212 and the House has now advanced the rule setting up floor votes on crypto, defense spending and other measures tomorrow. So, when all was said and done, crypto was the reason the House broke the record for the longest vote in history — nearly 10 hours long! Some of the GOP holdouts flipped from no to yes, back to no, and then yes again — all within 24 hours. I’m told several of them were hanging out at the Capitol Hill Club down the street tonight, anticipating a late-night vote switch. Now, with the final procedural vote passed — and a promise that anti-CBDC language will be included in the NDAA defense bill — House leadership can bring the GENIUS Act, and possibly the CLARITY Act, to the floor for final passage as soon as tomorrow.
