Trump Again Urges GOP to End Senate Filibuster

Former President Donald Trump urges Senate Republicans to abolish the filibuster, warning that retaining it could cost them control of Congress and the White House in the 2026 midterm elections. Trump argues that the filibuster hinders Republican progress on issues like border security, tax cuts, and the Second Amendment, and could lead to Democrats adding new states, packing the Supreme Court, and gaining more influence in Congress. The call for action has sparked a strong reaction among Republican lawmakers, with some supporting Trump's plan and others concerned about the risks of eliminating a longstanding Senate tradition. Trump's stance on the filibuster has become a central part of the Republican strategy for the 2026 midterms, with the former president and key party strategists linking rule reform to winning elections and passing policy promises.
