Description
Democrats will now have a solid majority in the Senate come January 3rd, with at least three more votes than it will take to strip the filibuster out of that body’s archaic rules.
We flipped Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Maine, and North Carolina on a single night (with Mississippi and Alaska in the wings), the sort of repudiation a sitting president gets that only comes along once in a lifetime.
And yet when Chuck Schumer was asked — twice — if he’d finally get rid of the filibuster he refused to answer. Hakeem Jefferies has been ambiguous, noting that it’s not his legislative body.
