(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) – Democrats will need to curtail the Senate filibuster if they aim to pass voting legislation and other priorities next, and the party’s top leaders are encouraging them to do just that.
But the effort is far from guaranteed to prevail, with President Joe Biden’s role still in doubt, and if it succeeds, may come back to bite the party just a year or two down the road.
“If the only thing standing between getting voting rights legislation passed and not getting passed is the filibuster, I support making the exception of voting rights for the filibuster,” Biden recently told ABC News, adding that he doesn’t think the Senate will “have to go that far.”
