Democrats calling for filibuster elimination ‘hypocrites,’ GOP chair says
Fox News
The Democrats in a full-out campaign to get President Biden to agree to eliminate the filibuster are hypocrites because the party used it 327 times 2020, Ronna McDaniel, the head of the Republican National Committee tweeted late Thursday.
Biden’s comment came after Republicans mounted a filibuster to reject the effort to begin debate on the massive, bipartisan infrastructure bill, saying there are still unresolved issues. Progressive Democrats have framed the filibuster issue as an opportunity for Biden to save democracy itself. Rep. Pramil Jayapal, D-Wash., the chairwoman of the Progressive Caucus, tweeted Thursday, that Republicans "have already introduced over 350 MORE bills across the nation. The solution is clear: End the filibuster. Pass the For the Peoples Act. Save our democracy."More Related News
