After the disastrous BBB failure, Democrats are preparing to change Senate rules to allow voting rights legislation to pass around the filibuster

After President Biden failed to pass the Build Back Better Act in the Senate, Democrats are now shifting course. To appease their base and to prevent a possible disastrous 2022 midterms, Democrats are now focusing on voting rights, an issue of high importance to their base. The problem is, the pesky filibuster stands in their way in passing their partisan plans.

Despite spending decades in the U.S. Senate defending the filibuster, President Biden is now willing to strip it away for the sake of federalizing elections, eliminating voter identification, and giving the left hold on power. He explained his position during an interview with ABC News Wednesday evening.

“Whatever it takes. Change the Senate rules … I support making an exception on voting rights for the filibuster,” President Biden adamantly stated to ABC’s David Muir.

For the first time, President Biden officially endorses changing Senate rules to allow voting rights legislation to pass around the filibuster:

Earlier today, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki reiterated President Biden’s position.

However, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is sounding the alarm on what this means for the nation.

Biden and the Democrats are preparing to change Senate rules forever so they can ram through a bill—the Corrupt Politicians Act—that would gut voter ID laws that 80% of Americans support. This corrupt power grab would be catastrophic for our country. https://t.co/QYzuU7RMkf
