The U.S. Senate is likely to delay a vote on protecting gay marriage until September, as Democrats push forward with a $430 billion climate change and drug pricing bill, which could cost them Republican support for the marriage measure.

Gay marriage was once a hot-button issue in America’s culture wars that Republicans vehemently opposed.

The bill passed the House of Representatives last month by a vote of 267-157 with 47 Republicans in support. Republican support could also help party candidates retain moderate suburban voters in key swing states who may have been turned off by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month ending the nationwide constitutional right to abortion.
