"I don't think that you have to eliminate the filibuster, you have to do it what it used to be when I first got to the Senate back in the old days," Biden told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos."You had to stand up and command the floor; you had to keep talking.""So you're for that reform? You're for bringing back the talking filibuster?" Stephanopoulos asked."I am. That's what it was supposed to be," Biden responded.
In his interview with Stephanopoulos, Biden also told migrants not to come to the US as a crisis unfolds at the country's southwestern border -- with thousands of unaccompanied children now in federal custody -- and said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo should resign if the investigations into allegations of sexual harassment prove them to be true. The President's comments on the filibuster come after the White House repeatedly insisted that his preference was not to end the filibuster.
Listen to this....
Good, get that HR1 passed
Let's all lobby HR -1 Everyone that voted for President Biden!
And he knows that this will bring government to a complete standstill.
Don’t believe anything he says.
Make them actually work for it. Or just get rid of it. But the way it is now is doing more harm than good to our country. And it has been for a while.
if you wanna know how that would work, there's a WestWing episode for that. 😉
Where is the stimulus for disabled people Why are disabled people being put at the end of the line why not release now?
In 2018 the Democrats said the opposite. The blatant hypocrisy is why nobody trusts our leaders...
Terrifies Mitch because he's forgotten what work is. I predict a lot of Dr Seuss reading to waste time. The filibuster needs a protection to not only keep them standing and talking, but relevant to the bill being discussed.
Y'all have no clue how to negotiate. Biden isn't going to change the filibuster he's basically telling GOP, either become reasonable or become insignificant for at least the next 2 years
Drop that filibuster all together.
She is studying, but she doesn't understand. As an intention, I watched her study. The Lord is for you to respond normally.
Good lord, not another Rand Paul ranting and raving night. I can't take it. Just do away with it.
Yup. You wanna hold a bill hostage, you should have to stand there and say why or stfu.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Has the parliamentarian approved this?
F**k. I knew he'd cave.
refuses 2 make a decision 2 fly brianstelter into Venezuela & see if he can interview President Maduro. Breaking views, due to coronavirus brian is off the hook, for now. Brian won’t go
That is a good compromise. Aside from Pelosi and Schumer, I have never heard a Republican try to make an 8 hour long 'principled' speech to oppose anything. Unless Ted Cruz will troll us by reading every Dr Seuss book 5000 times as part of a 'speaking' filibuster.
And they're all 100 years old so maybe we get lucky and a few seats open up too.
It's really very simple. Passage of HR1 is an EXISTENTIAL vote for democrats. If Dems do not pass this they will be shut out of office in many states by the many VoterSuppression laws - inspired by ALEC and the CNP - that are being passed in as many as 43 STATES❗️
That's a start.. but they will just bring a chair.
I trust that POTUS doesn't create a run on adult diapers(!).
Duh
Joe Biden hates our friendly immigrants. Why is he keeping them in cages?
The Democrats would do a big mistake if they don't remove the filibuster. The GOP will use it to block the progressive policies of Biden, then they will blame the Democrats for not achieving their goals. This is not the time to court McConnell and the rest of the GOP hypocrites.
Of course he does.... now
Then no work will get done
YES! The old tortoise couldn't do it! Voting rights back sliding, good 'ol boy's drenched in corruption, engrained racism. Extreme religious Rt. wingers. Are you sick of all that ' winning '?
