McConnell Warns About Eliminating the Filibuster

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) warned that Democrats could add four new Democratic senators if the filibuster is removed and Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., achieve statehood, the Washington Examiner reports.

Said McConnell: “They’ll admit the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as two new states — that’s four Democratic senators in perpetuity.”
