Trump calls for U.S. Senate to scrap filibuster rule
Update: 2025-10-31
Description
On October 31st, the government shutdown entered its thirtieth day, with no end in sight. President Trump urged Republicans to eliminate the filibuster, a rule requiring sixty out of one hundred Senators to agree before most legislation can pass. The main issue is a stopgap funding bill, with Democrats demanding negotiations over health insurance tax credits. The shutdown has affected seven hundred fifty thousand federal workers, and could cost the U.S. between seven billion and fourteen billion dollars, shaving up to two percent off the GDP. Both parties are under public pressure, but neither seems ready to make the first move to end the impasse.
