Today, Fix Our Senate released the following statement on reports that Senator Mitch McConnell is attempting to lock in the legislative filibuster as part of the Senate “power-sharing” negotiations.
“Senator McConnell knows that the filibuster is the best weapon he has to control the Senate from the minority and prevent Democrats from delivering on the promises they made to voters, which is why he is so desperate to maintain it. Senate Democrats must swat away this absurd attempt to undermine their majority and kneecap the Biden agenda before it even has a chance to get started.”
