President Trump is absolutely ramping up his rhetoric, issuing an aggressive warning that Senate Republicans will suffer “rightfully brutal” electoral losses if they don’t immediately move to eliminate the filibuster. This isn’t just a suggestion; he’s openly blaming his own party for future failures, telling them they’re going to lose the Midterms and the next Presidential Election if they don’t adopt the “Nuclear Option.”
He made it crystal clear that he thinks failure to act guarantees Democratic victories, especially after his own failures. Trump argued that if the filibuster stays put, Republicans won’t be able to get “Common Sense Policies done” because the opposition will block everything by withholding their votes, per The Hill.
