On 5/27/21 at 1:11 PM EDT
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin says he has no plans to end the filibuster in order to get a January 6 commission bill passed. I m not ready to destroy our government, no, he told reporters on Thursday. I think a bill will come together. You have to have faith.
Senate Republicans are expected to block a House-passed bill that would create a commission to investigate the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Some Democrats have argued that the Senate should gut the filibuster s 60-vote threshold in the narrowly divided chamber on order to advance the legislation.
