Is second of three required votes before sending the bill to the South Carolina House.
The South Carolina State Senate took a step toward removing the Confederate flag from the Capitol grounds on Monday.
In a second reading of a bill proposed to remove the controversial banner, the Senate voted 37-3 in favor of taking it down.
The vote, however, doesn’t mean the flag is going to be lowered right away: This is the second of three required votes needed in the Senate before the bill goes to the South Carolina House for a similar procedure. The Senate is adjourned until Tuesday.
