Elizabeth Warren claims the filibuster is racist amid calls to eliminate it
Fox News
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in an interview with Axios, published Thursday, that the legislative filibuster requiring 60 votes in the Senate to end debate on the bill, is racist.
Warren has long been one of the senators most hostile to the legislative filibuster. She's proposed eliminating it entirely in the past. The current form of the filibuster -- also called a silent filibuster -- allows a minority of 41 or more senators to prevent a bill from getting to a final vote by voting against it in what's called a "cloture" vote. Some Democrats, including President Biden, are now backing a talking filibuster.More Related News
