Trump’s sudden decision to assert himself into the shutdown debate — bringing the highly charged demand to end the filibuster — is certain to set the Senate on edge.

Trump wants the Senate to abolish the filibuster blocking legislation such as ending the shutdown. Here's why even his Republican allies keep it.

As the government shutdown nears becoming the longest in U.S. history, President Donald Trump has called on Senate Republicans to end the filibuster in order to bring the stalemate on Capitol Hill to an end. But, as before, they're not going along with his demands to change the traditional rule.

President Donald Trump is calling on the Senate to scrap the filibuster, so that the Republican majority can bypass Democrats and reopen the federal government.

Proposals to end the filibuster were wrong when Democrats made them in the Biden years, and they are wrong when Republicans make them in the Trump years.

President Donald Trump posted on social media overnight, calling on the Senate to end the filibuster, a move that would allow Republicans to pass spending bills without a single Democratic vote.
