Bipartisan Senate talks over a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act fell apart this week, Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst said in a floor speech Thursday.

Ernst said she’ll introduce her own version of the bill that can pass the Republican-controlled Senate and gain the support of President Donald Trump. The House, controlled by Democrats, passed a version of the bill in April.

“Just this week, after months of work and mountains of effort toward a bipartisan bill, it all came to a screeching halt,” Ernst said. “Once again Democrats are putting politics ahead of people.”

A representative for Ernst’s counterpart in the negotiations, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday.

Ernst said the bill had been swept up in “election year politics” that drove the negotiations off the rails. Earlier this year Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, said he would defer to Feinstein and Ernst to negotiate a bill. Unlike nominations, Senate rules effectively require bipartisan support to pass legislation, so majority Republicans would need at least some Democrats to be on board.
