And his attempts to fight the progressive discussion to eliminate the long-standing filibuster rule.

Joe talks, but ends up going with the Democrats. Now there is another great senator from the state of Arizona. It is hanging by a thread and if they are removed from the filibuster, if they remove it, it will be catastrophic for the Republican party. ”
McConnell and the Republican Party have given similar warnings about removing the filibuster rule, a provision that allows the upper house minority party to force an unrestricted debate on any issue before voting.
“Let me put it very clearly for the 99 of my colleagues: no one serving in this House can even begin, or even begin, to imagine what a Senate of totally burned land would look like,” he said. McConnell last week on what might look like the upper house if Democrats eliminate the filibuster. “I want our colleagues to imagine a world where every task, every one of them, requires a physical quorum.”
Members of both parties have used the rule for decades to block legislative push from the opposite side of the aisle. The Senate requires 60 votes to end a filibuster and go on to vote. Both parties currently have 50 senators, with Vice President Harris as the tiebreaker vote for the Democrats.

You have to work for the filibuster. It almost gets to the point where democracy is having a hard time working. “
Trump has been critical of the Republican Party leadership since the loss of the 2020 election, considering McConnell “weak” and said the party should seek new leadership more favorable to its policies.
“But if you look at what happened in the election, Mitch McConnell should have fought. You know, he didn’t do anything. He should have fought. They should have fought. That could never have happened, that never it could have happened to a Democrat, ”Trump told Boothe.
“What happened to us with the presidential election could never have happened to the Democrats. You would have had a revolution if you turned the table, you would have literally had a revolution. And guys like Mitch McConnell, they don’t fight. And now he’s hanging out. a thread. It’s hanging from a thread. “
