Kamala Harris Would Eliminate Senate Filibuster To Pass Green New Deal

  1. The Democratic 2020 presidential candidate made the comments during a CNN town hall Wednesday evening, stating that in the event she won the presidency and Senate Republicans refused to work with Democrats to pass the legislation, eliminating the 60 vote requirement for ending Senate debate would be an avenue to pursue.
  2. California Democratic Senator Kamala Harris said she would work to scrap the Senate filibuster as president if Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to pass the Green New Deal.
  3. While Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did end the filibuster as a measure to stall Supreme Court nominees, the Kentucky senator has spoken out strongly in favor of maintaining the tradition when passing legislation, despite the stated wishes of President Trump.
