Trump Wants to Kill the Filibuster. Republicans May Regret It.

President Trump wants Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster so they can pass the SAVE Act. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune understands the danger: once Republicans destroy the 60-vote threshold, the next Democratic majority could use that same power against them. Gun restrictions. Expanding the Supreme Court. Abolishing ICE. Sweeping legislation passed with a simple majority. This is not just about one bill. It is about whether Republicans should surrender one of their strongest protections against the next Democratic-controlled Senate. Trump is thinking about the next vote. Thune is thinking about the next majority. And right now, Thune may be the only adult in the room.
