US EditionHouse Cancels Vote on the SCORE Act Amid GOP Opposition
The SCORE Act was withdrawn due to bipartisan opposition and conservative GOP dissent, with Republicans lacking sufficient votes to pass legislation limiting athletes' labor rights.
- On Wednesday, House Republicans canceled a scheduled House floor vote on the SCORE Act, a Trump-backed measure to reshape college sports.
- With a two-seat GOP margin, Republican leaders lacked votes as Democratic leadership unified against the bill and House Freedom Caucus members, including Rep. Chip Roy , held procedural votes.
- The SCORE Act would fulfill the NCAA's three main requests by providing protections from lawsuits, establishing a national standard superseding state laws, and clarifying student-athletes are not employees, following a $2.8 billion settlement earlier this year.
- Republicans may reschedule a vote as soon as tomorrow, but passage would still require Democratic support to meet the 60-vote Senate threshold amid critics’ labor rights concerns.
- Amid bipartisan friction, the Congressional Black Caucus opposed the bill, while supporters argued it creates uniform national standards and protects student-athletes despite hard-right lawmakers' complaints.
