Sara Davis, Here is what I read in article from 2022 (& funny there's been so little mention of it, n'est-ce pas?)

"Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution sets out two requirements for amendments: approval by two-thirds of both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-fourths (38) of the states. On Jan. 27, 2020, the Equal Rights Amendment finally achieved both of these requirements, but the Trump administration blocked the certification and publication of the amendment.

With a new president and control of Congress, Democrats are now fighting for recognition of the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution."

And here's way more information than I found time to plow through: https://www.equalrightsamendment.org/faq

“With Virginia becoming the 38th and final state needed to ratify the ERA in 2020,16 the amendment has met all requirements of Article 5 to become an amendment and is now at a critical juncture in its history. However, legal challenges and partisan opposition have stalled the ERA’s adoption, so the fight continues to get it settled into the Constitution once and for all.”
