House Democrats quiet on DCCC chair's call to nix Senate filibuster

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) chair Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., published an opinion piece calling on the Senate to nix the filibuster — the chamber rule that gives the minority party in Congress more of a voice in the legislative process.

"Democrats must eliminate the filibuster, a shameful anti-democratic relic of Jim Crow, so that we can secure the right to vote and fulfill our promises to the American people," Maloney wrote. Fox News reached out to the DSCC as well as Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio, who recently announced his candidacy for Senate, and the other Democrats reportedly eyeing a run for the upper chamber asking if they agreed with the op-ed.
