Rep. Jayapal: Am I Championing Getting Rid of the Filibuster Now, When the Senate Has the Trifecta? No, But I Would Have Been If We Won

EXCERPT:

JAYAPAL: “Republicans, don't forget, already got rid of the filibuster for taxes. The tax scam didn‘t require 60 votes. So I think that -- I don‘t think it's in opposition at all. Obviously, am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now when the Senate has the trifecta? No. But had we had the trifecta, I would have been, because we have to show that government can deliver. And right now, even with people going to the ballot, they are bypassing their government because they don‘t feel like government, whether it's at the state level or the federal level, is actually going to get them the things they need."
