Schumer, Senate Dems plot assault on filibuster in new year after elections bill stalls
Fox News
Amid frustration over their stalled legislative agenda, Senate Democrats appear ready to move to neuter the legislative filibuster in the new year -- but it does not appear they have the votes to do it,
"I believe our constituents deserve to know which Senators choose to hide behind ill-conceived and abused rules," he added. "Therefore … Members will be given the chance to debate on the Senate floor and cast a vote so that their choice on this matter is clear and available for everyone to see."
Schumer followed up that statement with comments in a virtual caucus meeting Tuesday saying that the Senate will vote on changes to how it operates if Republicans block a Democrat-supported elections bill in January.
