Manu Raju, CNN's chief congressional correspondent, said that Pelosi's reaction to the senate's vote against the commission formation was that in "Honoring our responsibility to the Congress in which we serve and the Country which we love, Democrats will proceed to find the truth."

View on XSenator Ted Cruz noted his opposition to the bill, saying that:
"The January 6 terrorist attack on the Capitol was a dark moment in our nation's history, and I fully support the ongoing law enforcement investigations into anyone involved. Everyone who attacked the Capitol must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and brought to justice.
"I also support the Senate committees of jurisdiction who are exercising their proper oversight roles to provide an in-depth and complete account of the attack. With multiple investigations already underway, I do not support the politically motivated January 6 Commission led by Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi."
