AOC calls for the Senate to abolish the filibuster amid voting rights showdown
Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wednesday re-upped her calls for the Senate to eliminate the legislative filibuster so Democrats can pass sweeping reforms while in control of Congress and the White House.
"Abolish the filibuster," the progressive Squad member posted in response to Biden's tweet. The House already passed the massive election overhaul legislation, known as H.R. 1. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he'd bring the election legislation up for a vote in the Senate later this month, which would set the stage for a big clash on whether Democrats jettison the Senate tradition of a 60-vote threshold.More Related News
