Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on March 19 said she is “open” to changing the way the Senate filibuster rules are used amid growing pressure from far-left progressive groups for it to be scrapped.

Feinstein, 87, the oldest senator, has long been one of the Senate’s staunchest supporters of the filibuster rule, which requires a threshold of 60 votes to pass major legislation.
