據《彭博商業周刊》記者Daniel Flatley於美國時間週四(10月17日)14時多在推特上發出信息,《香港人權民主法案》提案人、美國參議員盧比奧(Marco Rubio )剛剛向他透露,預計美國參議院最快下週或下下周初審議《香港人權民主法案》。
In other news, Rubio says there could be a vote on the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act "sometime next week or early the following week."

美國時間週二(10月15日)下午,香港眾議院全票通過《香港人權民主法案》。此後美國參議院多數黨領袖麥康奈爾(Mitch McConnell)卻未有積極跟進和表態。而地位僅次於麥康奈爾的多數黨黨鞭圖恩(John Thune)甚至對《彭博社》表示,自己沒有留意眾議院日前通過的幾條法案。
就此美國參議院少數黨領袖舒默再度發聲,喊話麥康奈爾盡快啟啟動對《香港人權民主法案》的表決程序。 10月16日他在推特上表示:香港人享有自由表達的權利,我們與他們同在。中國共產黨負責對此承擔責任。麥康奈爾眾議院剛剛通過了《香港人權與民主法》,是時候參議院投票了!
The people of Hong Kong have a right to free expression.
We stand with them. The Chinese Communist Party must be held accountable.@SenateMajLdr McConnell: The House just passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. Time for the Senate to vote!https://t.co/FAHRzsxzeX

美國參議院少數黨黨鞭德賓(Dick Durbin)接連炮轟麥康奈爾的消極態度,10月16日他在推特上也發出信息:我讚賞眾議院昨天通過了《香港人權與民主法》。現在參議院必須通過這項措施。捍衛香港的人權、言論自由和民主是外界對參議院的期望。
I applaud the House for passing the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act yesterday, & I was proud to cosponsor the Senate companion. Now the Senate must pass the measure. Standing up for human rights, free speech & democracy in Hong Kong should be an expectation of the Senate.

週四(10月17日)德賓再次發推,表示眾議院通過的150多個議案死在麥康奈爾的桌上,不要上當,華盛頓的停滯不前只怪一個人——麥康奈爾。
Under the leadership of @SpeakerPelosi, the House of Representatives has passed more than 150 bills this Congress that have died on the desk of Senator McConnell.
Don’t be fooled. There’s only one person to blame for the lack of progress in Washington: Senator Mitch McConnell.
