Senate Democrats have scheduled the vote on final passage of the Violence Against Women Act for early next week — either late Monday or Tuesday, according to Majority Whip Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) office.
The vote on the completed bill was expected to happen by the end of this week, but additional time needed for debate and amendments, and the fact that the chamber is not in session Friday, led to it being postponed.
The measure enjoys strong bipartisan support.
