White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on her calls for the GOP to abolish the filibuster to pass President Trump’s agenda in an interview with “Pod Force One” released Wednesday. Leavitt argued that much of the president’s efforts to reform federal voting laws in particular would be eased if Senate Republicans agreed to do away with the 60-vote threshold needed to pass most legislation in their chamber. “Republicans need to get off their butts and move and that’s what the president wants to see them do and that’s what the American people are expecting,” she said.
