Harry Reid and Democrats laid the precedent with filibuster reform with federal judges. Which McConnell extended to SCOTUS.
So you Agree McConnell could have but didn’t kill the fillibuster before…tax cuts for the American people which spurred the best economy ever don’t have nuttin to do bout nuttin
Literally Biden and every democrat in congress except for Senama and Manchin are for eliminating the filibuster and called for it. Which is a flip from just a couple years ago when hypocrite Democrats pleaded to keep the filibuster during the Trump administration.
There is little support from the GOP in getting rid of the filibuster which has been a historic position.
