“Jan. 6 Panel Dems Throw Shade at Senate’s Bipartisan Foray into Their Turf”

This Politico piece notes that key members of the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack are “unimpressed” by the proposed bipartisan ECRA bill:

“Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) called the Senate effort ‘fine and necessary, but not remotely sufficient to meet the magnitude of the threat against democracy now,’ citing the need to also push for voting rights changes.

‘I don’t want to be overly critical, but I think there are some elements of what we’ve worked through that might be superior,’ added Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), who’s spearheading the select panel’s pitch to change the law that Trump backers used to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence.  ‘So, hopefully, we’ll come up with a melded version that serves the country.'”
