The Senate voted to proceed to debate on a bill to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on Thursday, setting the stage for a crucial decision before the current version expires on Friday.
A cloture motion to initiate voting on the bill passed with a 67-32 vote, with senators from both parties expressing both support and opposition. By surpassing the 60-vote threshold, the chamber successfully avoided a potential filibuster.
