The outgoing Senate Republican leader told Semafor that he sees Kamala Harris’ recent comments about ending the 60-vote threshold to pass an abortion rights bill as a sign.

“They’re all committed to it now, because Chuck has made them take a public position. Every Democratic challenger, I’m told, running for the Senate is taking the same position,” McConnell said. “I think they fully intend to do it if they can.”

Thanks for advocating for a good reason to have democratic control of the senate

    I say abolish the senate. The senate is there because we can’t trust the people to fend off populism that prioritizes their whims over reasoned governance. In practice, though, senators inject their unreasoned, populist, ideas into government.
