President Trump on Friday renewed calls, once again, for the Senate Republicans to terminate the filibuster, which would take a simple majority, and use their control of both chambers to reopen the government and pass sensible legislation that the Democrats will never vote for. The shutdown became the longest in history on Wednesday after closing its 35th day. The previous record was set in Trump’s first term at 34 days.With the filibuster in place, all legislation requires 60 votes to invoke cloture and move to a simple majority vote. Despite Republicans controlling the Senate, they cannot reopen the government or pass legislation without Democrats voting in favor.Trump has repeatedly called on Senate Republicans to invoke the “nuclear option” and terminate the filibuster.As The Gateway Pundit reported, on Wednesday, Trump hosted Republican Senators for breakfast, where he told them to end the filibuster, reopen the government, and pass laws to fix our country and our elections.However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and a handful of other Senators told reporters they will go against Trump on this, making the 50 votes necessary to terminate the filibuster impossible. “It’s just not happening,” said Thune, who made it clear he’s unwilling to vote to terminate the filibuster.JUST IN: Senate to Meet on Friday Amid Deal to Reopen the Government – Trump Doubles Down on Filibuster Termination Demands, Says the Democrats Would “Immediately do it”/*!
