Biden Says Getting Rid Of Filibuster 'Will Throw Congress Into Chaos,' Create Gridlock On 7/21/21 at 9:33 PM EDT Democratic President Joe Biden said that getting rid of the Senate filibuster will "throw the entire Congress into chaos" and create gridlock. While speaking at a CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night, an attendee mentioned that Biden had called Republican efforts to restrict voting rights "the most dangerous threat to voting and the integrity of free and fair elections in our history." "While you have condemned these attacks," the attendee said, "you and congressional members of your party have done little to actually stop these assaults. If these efforts are really the most dangerous in our history, isn't it logical to get rid of the filibuster, so we protect our democracy and secure the right to vote?"
