Senate 'must scrap' rule on filibuster
Bangkok Post
|November 01, 2025
Republican US President Donald Trump called on Thursday for the removal of the Senate's filibuster rule, to bypass a Democratic roadblock during a government shutdown now in its 30th day.
-
The filibuster is the Senate rule for agreement by 60 of its 100 members to pass most legislation. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate and a 219-213 majority in the House.
"It is now time for the Republicans to play their "TRUMP CARD," and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW," Mr Trump wrote on social media.
