flag Trump pushes to end filibuster to end shutdown, but Republicans reject the move.

flag President Donald Trump has called on congressional Republicans to eliminate the Senate filibuster to end the ongoing government shutdown, urging a simple majority to pass funding legislation. flag This proposal marks a significant escalation, as GOP leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have rejected the idea, citing concerns over long-term institutional consequences and the erosion of minority rights. flag The push highlights deep divisions within the Republican Party over strategy and Senate norms, with no immediate plans to change the filibuster rule despite the pressure to resolve the funding stalemate.
