Coming up on self-imposed deadlines, multiple bills face dire future


Right now, the measure is expected to fail, as a CNN count shows there are not 10 Republican senators who would vote to override a GOP filibuster. The key vote may happen this week, but could slide past the weeklong Memorial Day recess. That's because Republicans are indicating they expect a China competition bill that's on the floor now -- the Endless Frontiers Act -- may not get completed before the end of the week. The measure, which is meant to counter China's increasing superiority in manufacturing and global supply chains, boosts technology funding for domestic semiconductor manufacturing, and funds upgrades to the US supply chain. It also confronts China on intellectual property theft and revamps the National Science Foundation to better position it to help spur US manufacturing.
