Talarico: Abolish the Filibuster, ‘the Majority Should Be Able to Govern in This Country’

‘It has prevented us from making necessary progress in this country’

EXCERPT:

TALARICO: "And I will say, the systemic reforms I talked about earlier, you described them as long-term. I think if we abolish the filibuster, those reforms don't have to be long-term."
BARBARO: "And you do wish to abolish the filibuster?"
TALARICO: "I do. I do. I think the majority should be able to govern in this country. The filibuster is not in our Constitution. It's a Jim Crow relic, and it has prevented us from making necessary progress in this country."
