Kamala’s Threat to Eliminate Filibuster Backfires as Manchin, Sinema Turn Against HerBradley Jaye 24 Sep 2024
Two pro-abortion rights Senators turned on Vice President and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris over her call to end the filibuster to codify protections for almost unrestricted abortion.
Harris called for the end of the legislative filibuster in the Senate during an appearance on Wisconsin Public Radio on Tuesday to codify the right to abortion and eliminate state pro-life laws, a move with massive legislative and societal repercussions extending far beyond abortion.
Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV), who left the party to become independent but still caucuses with Democrats, will no longer support Harris for president, he told CNN.
“Shame on her,” Manchin said Tuesday “She knows the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy. It’s the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids.”
