US EditionThune: Votes ‘aren’t there’ to eliminate filibuster, despite Trump push
Trump warns Democrats could gain a packed Supreme Court and more Senate seats without ending the Senate filibuster, calling it a 'nuclear option' to secure GOP legislative success.
- Using Truth Social on Tuesday, President Donald Trump demanded the U.S. Senate terminate the filibuster to lower the vote threshold to a simple majority.
- Arguing the stakes are high, Trump said `the Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next Presidential Election, if we don’t do the Termination of the Filibuster , because it will be impossible for Republicans to get Common Sense Policies done with these Crazed Democrat Lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes`.
- A Trump adviser told Axios, `He will call them at three o'clock in the morning. He will blow them up in their districts. He will call them un-American. He will call them old creatures of a dying institution. Believe you me, he's going to make their lives just hell.`
- On Monday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted the votes "aren't there," and the 100-seat Senate requires at least 60 votes for cloture, complicating filibuster repeal.
- If the filibuster ends, supporters say it would let a majority approve nearly everything, while critics and The Wall Street Journal warn it forces bipartisan compromise and reduces policy reversals.
