00:03President Trump reignited the debate over the Senate filibuster
00:06after urging Republicans on Truth Social to blow up the rule to pass measures like voter ID.
00:14The filibuster is a Senate rule that requires 60 votes to end debate on most issues and proceed
00:20to a final vote. In a Sunday post on Truth Social, he claimed Democrats were cracking
00:25like dogs amid shutdown negotiations and accused them of fearing his push to eliminate the
00:30filibuster. According to CNN, Trump has repeatedly pressed Senate Republicans to end the procedural
00:37hurdle to advance policy goals. Conservative analyst Brendan Buck told MSNBC that abolishing
00:43the filibuster would be a really bad idea. Warning, it could allow Democrats to expand
00:48government programs such as Medicare for All when back in power.
