Fox News host Laura Ingraham urged Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) and other Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster, lest the GOP “get wiped out” in the next year’s midterm elections.
The federal government has been shut down since Oct. 1, after the Senate could not agree on a bill to keep the government funded beyond September. While the GOP controls the chamber 53-47, 60 votes are necessary to invoke cloture to break filibusters and advance legislation. In exchange for the requisite votes, Democrats are demanding that Republicans agree to extend healthcare premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Republicans have refused.
President Donald Trump has demanded that Senate Republicans eliminate the filibuster, which many senators regard as important to protect the Senate’s minority party.
On Friday’s episode of The Ingraham Angle, the host asked Marshall about the prospects for its elimination.
“Senator, Republicans – especially the more establishment Republicans – are very, very wedded to this idea of holding onto the filibuster with a death grip,” Ingraham said before alleging that if Democrats regain power, they will eliminate the rule. “Do you believe, given what this country and our people are facing, that it is time for the Republican Party to ditch the filibuster and start doing things for the American people?”
“Well, Laura, every day that this shutdown goes on, the more I’m convinced we need to end the filibuster,” Marshall replied. “And as I do my math here, the same Democrats that some of my colleagues are counting on to protect the filibuster are the same Democrats who are afraid to come across the aisle and open the government.”
Ingraham then warned that if Republicans’ agenda stalls in the Senate, the gridlock will bode poorly for Republicans’ electoral chances next year.
“The country is hurting. They want things done. You can’t ride on the ‘big beautiful bill’ into the midterms,” she said, referring to the massive legislation Trump signed in July. “Y’all gonna get wiped out. I’m telling you. The president sees it. He knows it. Tonight, will you commit to moving with your other senators toward ending the filibuster, Senator?”
“Well, Laura, I’m never gonna make a decision like that right now,” Marshall responded. “This is bigger than buying a house. I would never buy a house without making a decision, sleeping on it the next night.”
