Rep. Chip Roy urges Republicans to use the "nuclear option" to end the shutdown by eliminating the Senate filibuster on funding bills.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has urged Republicans to consider the "nuclear option" to end the ongoing government shutdown, arguing that the Senate filibuster unfairly blocks majority will on funding bills.
He and other conservative lawmakers say the 60-vote threshold is outdated, especially since Republicans use a 50-vote threshold for budget reconciliation.
While party leadership opposes eliminating the filibuster, Roy’s remarks reflect growing GOP frustration over legislative gridlock and the perceived inability to break the deadlock.
