High-ranking Democrat Senator Remains 'Hesitant' About Abolishing Filibuster

Erin Schaff/The New York Times via AP

High-ranking Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) indicated on Wednesday that she is “undecided” about eliminating the legislative filibuster, which implements a 60-vote threshold to pass major legislation. Scrapping the procedural hurdle would allow Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to fast-track President Biden’s legislative agenda, with just 51 votes from his chamber, without the consent of Republican lawmakers.

Feinstein warned that Senate Republicans could turn the tables once the GOP takes back the majority in the upper chamber.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) warned on Tuesday, once again, that Democrats would regret making such a move.

Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) remain opposed to abolishing the filibuster, which prevents Schumer from having the votes to eliminate the threshold.
