Trump reiterated his demand for the Senate to eliminate the filibuster this morning, arguing that not doing so will help Democrats in the 2026 midterm and 2028 presidential elections.
The president wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post that it will be “impossible for Republicans to get Common Sense Policies done with these Crazed Democrat Lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes.”
“FOR THREE YEARS, NOTHING WILL BE PASSED, AND REPUBLICANS WILL BE BLAMED. Elections, including the Midterms, will be rightfully brutal. If we do terminate the Filibuster, we will get EVERYTHING approved, like no Congress in History. We will have FAIR, FREE, and SAFE Elections, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everybody, Strong Borders, Major Tax and Energy Cuts, and will secure our Second Amendment, which the Democrats will also terminate, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote.
Trump warned that if the Senate doesn’t eliminate the filibuster for legislation, Democrats are “far more likely to do well in the upcoming Elections.” He argued it would lead to “a PACKED Supreme Court, 2 more States and 4 more Democrat Senators (D.C. and Puerto Rico), and 8 more Electoral Votes.”
“Remember, Republicans, they are going to end the Filibuster as soon as they get the chance We know this because they already tried, and the only two people who didn’t go along are now out of office. But they have much less chance of WINNING if we have Great Policy Wins after Wins after Wins,” he wrote.
Trump has been pushing for the elimination of the filibuster in recent days as the government shutdown has dragged on. His demands, however, have been met with resistance within his own party.
