Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris It is called A move to end the filibuster over the killing of unborn children through abortion would have a far more significant impact on the balance of power in the United States.
Harris It is called During an appearance on Wisconsin Public Radio on Tuesday, he called for an end to the legislative filibuster in the Senate to enact abortion rights and repeal the state's pro-life laws.
“I think we should abolish the filibuster. egg“It's about actually restoring laws that protect reproductive freedom and the ability of every person, every woman, to make decisions about their own body and not have the government dictate to them,” Harris said.
Her call to abolish the filibuster is the most advanced of her pledges to federalize abortion if elected in November. Harris has repeatedly said she would sign a bill to federalize abortion. Roe v. WadeShe has made killing unborn babies through abortion a central part of her campaign, supporting that ruling, which was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022. She has repeatedly refused to mention the abortion restrictions she supports and falsely claims that abortions are not performed later in pregnancy.
Harris has called for abolishing the filibuster before, but for different reasons. During the 2020 presidential campaign, she said: said She would support ending the filibuster to pass a radical Green New Deal, which is essentially a far-left socialist wish list.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in July, Steve Daines (R-Montana), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, warned that Democrats are plotting a “radical” power grab in the United States, including a plan to abolish the filibuster if they gain control of the Senate.
Daines warned that eliminating the filibuster would reduce the votes needed to pass legislation from 60 to 51, allowing Democrats to push through radical policies, which he said would include: He would increase the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court from nine to 13, order Washington, D.C., and the state of Puerto Rico to add four Democrats to the Senate, and take federal control of elections across the country.
“The implications of losing now would be severe, because if we don't get the majority back and Democrats take control, they're going to blow up the filibuster,” Daines told Matthew Boyle, Washington bureau chief for Breitbart News.
Daines continued.
That means Washington DC and Puerto Rico become states. That means we will have 4 Democratic senators forever. They also increase the number of Supreme Court justices from 9 to 13. They pack the Supreme Court. And finally, they pass one of the left's favorite bills, which is federal takeover of all elections. Our Founding Fathers feared the concentration of power.
TThis is one of the principles of separation of powers, or the separation of powers between the federal and state governments, or federalism. This bill would repeal all voter ID laws passed by the states. All voting would be by mail. The deadline to vote would be around 8pm on Tuesday night on Election Day, and it would take about two weeks to mail out all the ballots. As you can see, we have lost total control of our elections, the left has seized power and done irreparable damage to this country, and it will be very difficult to ever elect a center-right government in Washington again.

As Boyle reported, the only reason Democrats have been unable to end the filibuster in the past two Congresses is because two senators who now claim to be independents and have since left the Democratic Party refused to follow the strategy. He wrote:
Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia are not seeking reelection this election. Despite leaving the Democratic Party, they have not joined the Republican Party and still meet with Democrats. But Daines warns that because they will both be leaving the Senate, if Democrats take the majority, there will be no opposition left within the Democratic Party to block their radical power-grab plans. Daines points to a plan clearly written by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the Democratic candidate in this year's California Senate election: Made These goals are clearly expressed in what Schiff calls the interest of protecting “democracy.”
Daines said that with Sinema and Manchin both announcing their retirements, “there are no more Democrats standing up to protect the filibuster.”
“…”[W]”That means it would simply take a 50-plus-one vote threshold to enact these sweeping changes into law. Just imagine, the Second Amendment and gun control bills would pass with just 51 votes,” Daines said.
“By the way, don't take my word for it. Read what Adam Schiff has written. I'm sad to report that Adam Schiff is likely to be the next senator from California,” he continued. “He predicted this in writing earlier this year. So that's their strategy. We can't let them succeed. So we have to get at least 51 Republicans into the Senate by January 2025.”
