"In July, Johnson promised a group of conservatives, who were holding the floor hostage during crypto week, that the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act would be attached to the NDAA. Johnson, at the time, said he spoke with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) about the adding the provision to the must-pass bill, and told reporters he was "hopeful" that the Senate would hold the line."
"The Anti-CBDC bill was in the House-passed NDAA, but not it's not in the bill that will come to the House floor Wednesday, and likely be signed into law. Conservatives are fuming about the measure's exclusion. "Leadership needs to fix this bill IMMEDIATELY." Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) posted on X. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) told Axios he will give "some amount of grace" on tomorrow's rule vote but plans to vote against final passage."

He said he spoke with Senate Majority Leader John Thune about adding the provision and told reporters he was hopeful the Senate would hold the line. The Anti-CBDC bill was in the House-passed NDAA but is not in the version that will reach the House floor Wednesday and likely be signed into law. Conservatives are furious; several Republicans have vowed to oppose the rule vote or final passage, forcing leadership to consider bringing the bill up under suspension, which would require two-thirds support, while dozens of Democrats are expected to support it.
