For the second time since he became president with a 50-50 Democratic majority in the Senate, President Joe Biden is expressing a willingness to support altering a centuries-old Senate rule that Republicans — along with moderate Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema — have been using to stymie his legislative programme.
While speaking to reporters at a press conference following the 2022 Nato leaders summit in Madrid, Mr Biden assailed the US Supreme Court’s recent ruling which upended a half-century of precedent by giving states the power to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term against their will.
