Is there support for it in both houses though? They reauthorize the patriot act every time for two decades.

Doubt so. There is a very strong Trump faction now dominating Republican house. Pelosi waning and Diane dead. We now have AOC faction. It is going to be very dysfunctional 2024-2026.

What Diane did was an embarrassing endcap to such a long and distinguished career. She should have retired years ago, not die clinging to power, barely able to function as a Senator.

Patriot Act expired in December 2020. It was not reauthorized by Congress. Trump threatening a veto might have influenced it though.
