Political Rewind: In Deadlocked Senate, Some Ask If It Is Time To Repeal The Filibuster

Political Rewind

Tuesday on Political Rewind: Georgia voters gave Democrats a majority in the U.S. Senate when they elected Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in January. But the Senate remains a stumbling block for efforts by President Joe Biden to pass the bills in his ambitious agenda. Many frustrated Democrats are raising once again the long-standing question of whether it’s time to end the rules that allow a minority in the senate to thwart the majority’s will through the use of the filibuster.
