Biden Says 'Nothing Will Get Done' If Senate Abolishes Filibuster
HuffPost
Not all that much gets done now.
President Joe Biden reiterated his opposition to abolishing the Senate’s filibuster rule on Wednesday, claiming that rather than making it easier to pass legislation, it will actually make it harder. “There’s no reason to protect it other than you’re going to throw the entire Congress into chaos and nothing will get done,” Biden said during a CNN town hall. “Nothing at all will get done, and there’s a lot at stake.” Right now, it essentially takes 60 votes to pass legislation in the Senate, thanks to the filibuster. So even though Democrats have a majority, they still can’t move forward on major parts of their agenda.
