As the political parties battle for the upper hand in the federal government shutdown, President Donald Trump has a new target: the Senate filibuster. What would it take to get rid of it?
Trump has repeatedly urged Thune to scrap the legislative filibuster, which effectively sets a 60-vote threshold for most legislation in the 100-member Senate, or find another workaround to pass the voting bill, known as the SAVE America Act.
President Donald Trump is calling on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep senators in Washington until they pass a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill.
