Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday announced that he is ready to move forward on a power-sharing agreement with Senate Democrats after securing assurances that they will not vote to remove the legislative filibuster.
“Today, two Democratic Senators confirmed that they will not end the legislative filibuster. They agree with President Biden’s and my view that no Senate majority should destroy the right of future minorities of both parties to help shape legislation,” McConnell said in a statement, referring to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.)
