President Joe Biden said, in his press conference on Thursday, that he supports Democrats’ efforts to end the filibuster, and he claimed that the procedural tool had been “abused” when used 250 times last year — though he neglected to mention that Democrats, not Republicans, were responsible for those filibusters.
Biden pivoted to speaking about the filibuster after being asked about the status of landmark legislation he’d proposed, including H.R. 1, the “For the People Act,” a major overhaul of the electoral system, federalizing the process and forcing states to implement changes to their voting, balloting, and voter registration systems.
