Tim Scott Will Try Again on Police Reform

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) told reporters he plans to reintroduce his police reform bill or a similar proposal in the coming weeks, and that he has discussed a potential compromise with Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Axios reports.

Playbook: “So we told you this morning that when it comes to policing reform, even advocates are privately skeptical that they can get something passed. That’s namely due to the huge differences between Rs and Ds on the issue of qualified immunity, protection that bars cops from getting sued. But this morning, several Republican senators sounded optimistic that a deal could be struck.”
