Former President Donald Trump said if Senate Democrats are successful in their effort to remove the filibuster, it would be “catastrophic” for the Republican Party.
The filibuster is a procedural provision that allows the minority party to force an open-ended debate on any issue and requires 60 senators to end debate and move to a vote. Without it, a simple majority vote would be needed to end debate, and the evenly split Senate is now controlled by Democrats, which have 51 votes with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker.
