Donald Trump is demanding the termination of the 'filibuster' following the Republican defeat in Virginia and New Jersey. He claims this rule, which requires 60 votes to pass legislation, is the main obstacle his party faces in advancing its legislative agenda, despite having a majority. By demanding its termination, Trump aims to allow Republicans to pass their bills with a simple majority (51 votes). In his posts, the president linked the elimination of the 'filibuster' to the approval of an 'Electoral Reform,' which would include measures like voter ID and the elimination of mail-in voting. He also blamed the party's defeat on 'Trump not being on the ballot' and the 'government shutdown'.
