During the Biden-Harris administration, Democrats called to eliminate the filibuster and add justices to the Supreme Court in order to bolster their political power. Now, with a Republican president and Republican Senate majority incoming, The Daily Wire thought it would reach out to Senate Democrats to see if they’ve changed their minds.
The Daily Wire reached out to every Democrat Senate office, even Sens. Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey (PA), and Jon Tester (MT), who all lost re-election, to ask for their stance on the two subjects. We also reached out to independent Sens. Angus King (ME) and Bernie Sanders (VT), who caucus with Democrats. For those who have not publicly supported or who have publicly opposed either the elimination of the filibuster or packing the Supreme Court, they were asked what they would say to their fellow Democrats who have supported such measures.
The Daily Wire also reached out to the incoming Democrat Senators, who all expressed a desire to end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court (except for Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who is not on record saying she would add Supreme Court seats) to see if they still supported these positions now that Trump won and Republicans have taken back the Senate.
