Pelosi declines to wade into Senate filibuster debate as progressives push for change
Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declined Thursday to throw her support behind abolishing the filibuster despite growing movement from the progressive wing of her caucus to demand an end to the Senate tradition.
Pressed by Fox News' Chad Pergram during a news conference on her filibuster stance, Pelosi said: "I don't get involved in any discussion on Senate rules, you know that, and I don't welcome any discussion from them on House rules." Pelosi said Senate rules are outside her jurisdiction but blamed the Senate GOP leader for blocking the House's priorities. "Mitch McConnell is still the problem," Pelosi said.More Related News
