Harry Reid: Biden Unlikely to Ask Dems to Get Rid of Filibuster

“Knowing Joe Biden the way I do, he will be very patient and try to continue how the Senate used to be,” the Nevada Democrat said. “I am not particularly optimistic” that he will ask Democrats to get rid of the filibuster and make it easier for the party to pass the president’s legislation through Congress.

Will Democrats eliminate the filibuster in the Senate? What to know

FOX News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram has more from the Capitol on Your World New Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has a problem. Progressives and the left expect big things now that Democrats control the White House, House and Senate. Years of bills stacking up on the desk of new Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., are gone. Democrats want gun control measures. A big COVID bill. Climate change legislation. A new immigration bill. But there, is only so much you can do with a 50-50 Senate. And, only so much you can do when the minority party can still block legislation via the filibuster.

Minimum wage boost headed for budget bill

Minimum wage boost headed for budget bill By David Lerman CQ-Roll Call/TNS WASHINGTON -Raising the federal minimum wage through the budget reconciliation process would be a “stretch,” but House Democrats plan to try it anyway, Budget Chairman John Yarmuth said Monday. Even as the Biden administration tries to negotiate a bipartisan COVID-19 relief package, Democrats are laying the groundwork to use a procedure known as reconciliation, which would allow for Senate passage by a simple majority vote without Republican support. Biden’s package would include a provision to more than double the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Yarmuth told CNN the provision could run afoul of the Senate’s so-called Byrd rule, which restricts the use of reconciliation. The rule requires that legislation passed under that procedure must affect spending or revenue and have a budgetary impact that is not “merely incidental” to any policy change.

Progressives pressure Schumer to end filibuster – HotAir

Progressives pressure Schumer to end filibuster Driving the news: Just Democracy, a coalition of more than 40 progressive groups led by Black and brown organizers seeking to reform government, created and paid for a week-long billboard in the heart of Schumer’s district starting Monday. The ad boasts quotes from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former President Obama and ex-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, all condemning the filibuster. None of them is working in conjunction with the organizers on the billboard. Of note: Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive beacon, won’t quell speculation she’s considering challenging Schumer for his seat. What they’re saying: “Democrats gained control of the Senate because of Black and Brown organizers and voters,” Stasha Rhodes, campaign director for 51 for 51 and a member of the Just Democracy coalition, said in a statement to Axios. “Now they have a chance to remove the biggest impediment to the legislation those voters care about most
