Democrat Promises to ‘Get Around’ Filibuster for Liberal Agenda

 

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said Democrats would find a way to “get around” the filibuster in order to pass their preferred federal voting legislation.

Clyburn made the comments to “Axios on HBO,” telling the program that passing the Democrats’ desired legislation “may require some jiu-jitsu, but that’s not beyond the Senate to do that.”

“They’ll come up with some way to get around it,” Clyburn added. “We had better come up with some way to get around it, because this democracy is teetering on collapse.”

Several bills supported by Democrats have passed the House but stalled in the Senate, including the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Another bill, the For the People Act, failed to pass the Senate over the summer.
