Senate Majority Leader signals FISA bill dead on arrival due to CBDC provision

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) told House GOP leaders on April 29, 2026, that the House FISA bill was "very, very hard" to pass due to the CBDC provision. Thune indicated the Senate would move forward on a separate 45-day clean extension without the CBDC language. (ABC News, Apr. 30, 2026)
