Democrats May Have Votes to Change Filibuster Rule

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) told CNN “there very well may be“ 50 votes in the Senate to change filibuster rules to let the debt ceiling bill be advanced by a simple majority, saying there’s “a lot of passion in the caucus” about the standoff with the GOP and getting debt ceiling raised.

He added: “My hope is that after today’s vote Republicans will rethink their approach, or you may see, I think, some damage to this institution.”
