Breaking: The Numbers Are In – 25 Republican Senators Want to Keep the Filibuster, 9 Confirmed to Re

[American Girl]

Excerpt:
Folks, if there’s one thing that shows the battle lines being drawn in the GOP, it’s President Trump’s push to eliminate the Senate filibuster to end the government shutdown and speed his agenda, met with a mix of support and stubborn resistance from Senate Republicans. On November 6, 2025, Trump hosted a breakfast meeting at the White House, pressing GOP senators to reform the Senate’s rules with a simple majority vote—a move so controversial it’s dubbed the “nuclear option.” While a growing number are warming to the idea, the fight’s far from over, with 24 senators digging in to keep the filibuster, only nine confirming they want it gone, and the rest undecided. (Image:shows the Senate GOP lineup, green for “keep,” red for “remove,” gray for “undecided.”)





If your elected representatives continually ignore your wishes, why would you continue to vote for them?

Keep it. If the midterms go badly, the right will need it.

no. I think the Democrats will invoke it next time they get in power - remember, only Manchin and Sinema are the reasons they didn't bust it then, and they're both gone. I think the Senate is almost certain to stay R but the House is likely to flip.

By this, half seem to be a hard no but patience is wearing thinner and thinner.

The Republicans never use it.  When was the last time the GOP used a filibuster to block a spending bill with $2 trillion in deficit spending?  When did they ever use it to block Obamacare funding?  Have they ever blocked free shit to illegals by using a filibuster?  Any Democrat cabinet or judicial nominee?

Seems to me we need some different Republicans in there.

Sadly I think you're correct.  The republicans might as well retire the filibuster.  Dems abuse it for political expediency but will eliminate it as soon as they gain the majority.

Nuke it, and let the political chips fall where they may.
