Kamala Harris supports change to filibuster in Senate to limit minority party power
Harris' office said she is aligned with Biden in support of 'talking filibuster'

Vice President Harris supports changing the filibuster practice in the Senate in order to limit the ability of the minority party to easily block legislation, her office confirmed to Fox News Wednesday.
Harris' office said that the vice president is aligned with President Biden on the issue of the filibuster. Biden told ABC Tuesday that he supports a move to a "talking filibuster," which requires opposing senators to constantly speak on the Senate floor in order to block a final vote on a bill.
"I don't think that you have to eliminate the filibuster, you have to do it what it used to be when I first got to the Senate back in the old days," Biden told ABC. "You had to stand up and command the floor, you had to keep talking."
Harris' move to agree with Biden's talking filibuster proposal represents a continued shift in her stance on the filibuster.
