Former President Donald Trump said if Senate Democrats are successful in their effort to remove the filibuster, it would be “catastrophic” for the Republican Party.
The filibuster is a procedural provision that allows the minority party to force an open-ended debate on any issue and requires 60 senators to end debate and move to a vote. Without it, a simple majority vote would be needed to end debate, and the evenly split Senate is now controlled by Democrats, which have 51 votes with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker.
During an interview on the podcast “The Truth with Lisa Boothe,” Trump said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is barely keeping the provision alive.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
