Trump Push for Filibuster Elimination Amid Shutdown

On November ninth, President Trump doubles down on his push to eliminate the Senate filibuster rule, despite political opposition, as the government shutdown enters its thirty-ninth day. His demands come amidst Republican losses and Supreme Court scrutiny of his tariff powers. The President fears Democrats will repeal the filibuster if they regain Senate control, using it to pass sweeping legislation. His filibuster talk is part of a broader strategy to gain leverage in shutdown negotiations, though Democrats proposals have also failed to advance talks. The President leaves Washington, leaving the path to ending the shutdown uncertain.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
