McConnell: Democrats would end the filibuster if they sweep on Election Day | Semafor

The outgoing Senate Republican leader told Semafor that he sees Kamala Harris’ recent comments about ending the 60-vote threshold to pass an abortion rights bill as a sign.

“They’re all committed to it now, because Chuck has made them take a public position. Every Democratic challenger, I’m told, running for the Senate is taking the same position,” McConnell said. “I think they fully intend to do it if they can.”

Thanks for advocating for a good reason to have democratic control of the senate

    Always is a terrible word. We need to ensure that filibuster removal is run on and believed by all Democrats we elect so even if it is 51/49, we can change the filibuster rule or remove it entirely.
