Filibuster Fight Heats Up in GOP | Irvine News
Description
Trump’s push to gut the Senate filibuster for a voter ID bill is sparking GOP division, with some senators like Lisa Murkowski and John Curtis openly resisting — warning that eliminating the rule could backfire politically and undermine future electoral viability. While Majority Leader Thune insists there aren’t enough votes, whispers of dissent are growing louder, as even loyalists admit more Republicans oppose the change than they’re willing to admit — risking a misleading public narrative. The debate reignites amid history: both parties have reshaped Senate rules before, but bipartisan efforts in 2017 still sought to preserve the filibuster — now, its fate hangs in the balance.
