Black Caucus calls on Senate to ditch filibuster, pass elections bills immediately: 'It's the urgency of now'

The Congressional Black Caucus said Wednesday it's a moral imperative for Senate Democrats to ditch the filibuster and pass their two elections bills over GOP objections.

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., launched a broadside at Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who was the main author of one of the bills Democrats are trying to pass. He said that Manchin, who is a vocal supporter of the Senate filibuster, "seemed to be supporting a filibuster of his own bill. That to us is very concerning."
