Vice President Kamala Harris called for eliminating the Senate filibuster during a Wednesday CNN town hall.
The filibuster is a long-standing tradition and tactic used to delay or prevent a vote on a measure from passing on the Senate floor.
While speaking with Harris’s tough talk about codifying Roe v. Wade, CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Harris how she would get a measure passed to codify Roe v Wade when the filibuster is a hurdle to passage.
“Let me ask you, you’ve talked about codifying Roe v. Wade, that would obviously require 60 votes in the Senate, a majority of the Senate … If that’s not possible, to codify it in the house, what do you do?” he asked.
“I think we need to take a look at the filibuster, to be honest with you,” Harris replied.
Breitbart News’s Katherin Hamilton reported on Harris’s past calls to terminate the filibuster.
