Schumer Controls the Future of the Filibuster

“Senate Republicans are adamant that Chuck Schumer is maneuvering toward one endgame: Killing the filibuster. But Schumer’s own Democratic colleagues aren’t as confident,” Politico reports.

“The reality is more complicated. Schumer is an expert at channeling the feelings of his caucus, and Democratic senators have no clear agreement on the topic. A source close to Schumer said that ‘when he says they’ll have a discussion as a caucus and everything is on the table, he means it.’”
