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

    Oh no Mitch, you mean you’ll actually have to do your job instead of sending Ted Cruz out to read Green Eggs and Ham? I feel so bad for you.

      Filibusting senators don’t even do that anymore. All the senator has to do is send an email saying that they will filibust.
