Just one year before the crucial 2026 midterm elections, President donald trump are predicting that their own party will do very poorly without the senators eliminate the filibuster And he claims that several partisan bills will make the GOP virtually unbeatable in future contests.
in one morning true social The post was written as soon as the poll was revealed Gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey – and a Mayor elections are being closely monitored At his former home in New York City – Trump wrote democrat Unless senators vote to eliminate the 60-vote threshold for most legislation in the upper chamber, he is “more likely to win the midterms and the next presidential election”.
long term management committee The rule is widely considered to have a moderating effect on legislation moving through Congress because bills require bipartisan support to pass through the Senate.
But Trump, now stuck in a record-tying government shutdown, complained that the filibuster makes it “impossible” republican To make common sense policies with these crazy Democrat lunatics being able to stop everything by blocking votes.
He said, “For three years, nothing will be passed and Republicans will be blamed. The elections, including the midterms, will be appropriately brutal.”
Continuing, Trump claimed that eliminating the 60-vote requirement for most Senate-passed bills would allow the GOP to “approve everything, like no Congress has done in history” and suggested that doing so would allow Republicans to pass legislation that would make it harder for Democrats to win elections and crackdown on the rights of transgender people.
He said, “We will have fair, free and secure elections, no men in women’s sports or transgender everyone, stronger borders, major tax and energy cuts, and we will protect our Second Amendment, which even the Democrats would immediately gut.”
He then said that failure to break the Senate supermajority requirement would make Democrats “more likely to do well in the upcoming elections” and set off a parade of horrors for Republicans, including annexing Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico as states and potentially packing the Supreme Court.
Democrats, Trump said, “have very little chance of winning if we have great policy victory after victory after victory.”
Conversely, he also said that if senators embrace nuclear power and allow their preferred bills to pass the GOP will “become the party that cannot be defeated” in future elections.
This arrogance of the President came to light after a sit-down interview with CBS News. 60 minutes In which he claimed that if Republicans are able to pass legislation without needing to compromise with Democrats in the Senate they will never “lose power” again.
He said, “Republicans have to be tough. If we eliminate the filibuster, we can do what we want. We’re not going to lose power.”
Despite Trump’s fervent demands from Republican senators to eliminate the one remaining lever of power available to his Democratic opposition before next year’s elections, it is highly unlikely that senators will choose to heed his wishes.
The top Republican in the Senate, Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota, has resisted calls to end the filibuster along with many of his GOP colleagues.
Asked about Trump’s comments on CBS News on Monday, Thune told reporters that it would not be possible to invoke the so-called “nuclear option” because not enough senators would support doing so.
“The votes are not there,” he said.
