Today. senator republicans denied senators the right to vote on a bill called the freedom to vote act, which was co-written by senator joe manchin in the hope of attracting republican support for a voting rights bill. the bill would establish federal standards for early voting and vote by mail, automatic and online voter registration, require voter i.d., ban partisan gerrymandering, mandate disclosure of dark money group and make election day a federal holiday. all 50 senators on the democratic ...

Through a change of culture where the minority set on obstruction has veto power over whether a topic can even be debated. so this is paralysis, and this is really driving the senate to a point it cant respond to the issues facing americans, whether its health care, housing or education or jobs or equality or climate, the senates in big trouble, and that puts our republic in a desperate position. >> senator angus king told rachel maddow in the previous hour that he would be willing to change at ...

Bills. joe manchin is in favor of a package that is about half the size of what most democrats want and joe manchin so far opposes any suggested changes in the senates 60-vote threshold that would allow democrats to pass voting rights legislation and possibly other legislation with a simple majority vote. joe manchin has been the subject of protests by democratic activists who have traveled to west virginia to try to put pressure on the senators. senator bernie sanders wrote an op-ed piece in a ...

Things i really liked about what he had to say was that everyone on the democratic side who -- of the senate who is now in fay very of change the 60 vote threshold rule came to that position reluctantly. he came to it, has been coming in that direction more reluctantly than most of the rest, but everyones thinking about this move slowly, and there was that moment where he mentioned norm ornstein, he mentioned me in our history with this subject, and i can remember the first time it came up somew...

To change at least the procedure for the threshold and switch the pressure onto the objecting minority and forced them to deliver 41 votes to basically continue debate and avoid a vote on a bill. the so-called cultural. that would change the dynamic, it would make it something that would require the physical presence of republican senators, in order to do this kind of thing. what is your reaction to that, or any other possible change in the 60 vote threshold, to allow an actual vote, allow senat...

That would change the dynamic, it would make it something that would require the physical presence of republican senators in order to do this kind of thing. what is your reaction to that or any other possible change in the 60-vote threshold to allow an actual vote, allow senators the right to vote on the right to vote. >> well, the point here is we have to restore the senate, and when we say that, it means restore it as a body thats able to debate an issue and hold votes on an issue. and the par...

Senate of 100 senators, and did it repeatedly. and so thats what he was talking about tonight is that concept of, you know, remember, if you do this it wont be there when you might want it a few years down the road. and so -- and i get that concept. i personally am past it, and i just think get rid of the entire thing. theres no point to the 60 vote threshold under any circumstances at all. but it took me, i dont know, maybe three years of thinking about it over ten years ago to get into that sp...

And, all republicans voted against even talking about the bill. they voted against allowing a vote on the bill. it wouldve taken 60 votes to clear these, 60 vote threshold imposed by mitch mcconnell, on this bill, to simply begin to vote on the bill. vice president kamala harris said this, immediately after the senate vote, id liked >> id like to think that we have evolved as a nation and that we would not have to return to a moment where the united states senate would have to debate, yet in thi...

Against it. every single one. complete consensus. even the good republicans like mitt romney and susan collins and joe manchins co-author. the one who wrote the letter with him. she is objectively the most pro-voting rights republican in the senate and she voted against it. the bill did not meet the 60 vote threshold to avoid a filibuster and it died right then and there. chuck schumer voted no that he could bring it up again. >> our former president could not accept defeat with grace. he refuse...
