Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer conceded that the elimination of the legislative filibuster will be a possibility if Democrats take back the majority in the Senate.
"We have a moral imperative to the people of America to get a whole lot done if we get the majority, which, God willing, we will, and keep it in the House, and Biden becomes president, and nothing is off the table," Sen. Schumer said, via Roll Call.
"We will do what it takes to get this done...some Republicans might work with us. But we're going to have to get it done, whether they work with us or not."
Before officially accepting the Democratic Party's nomination for president, Joe Biden also said that he would favor scrapping the filibuster if necessary.

Reid's move to lower the threshold to overcome a filibuster, invoking the "Nuclear option," allowed Republicans to confirm a record number of judges to the federal bench and two justices on the Supreme Court by a simple majority.
Sen. Schumer's openness to eliminating the legislative filibuster is a partisan power grab, and makes his commitment to pushing a left-wing agenda through the upper chamber abundantly clear.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
