Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who helped organize a bipartisan letter backing up the legislative filibuster in 2017, said he’s “seriously weighing” what to do.
“Part of the point of this week is for us to remain curled up in the floor to demonstrate our commitment to finding a bipartisan solution. It is my firm belief that my good friends and colleagues on the other side of the isle will grow tired of kicking us and perhaps catch a cramp in their kicking legs. That pause in the kicking will open up a good avenue for dialogue which will allow us to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Restoration Act without changing the rules of the Senate,” Coons said.
