Senator Joe Manchin's refusal to endorse Kamala Harris indicates rising opposition within the Democratic party over the filibuster and its implications for reproductive rights.
The filibuster, though not mentioned in the Constitution, has become a significant barrier, requiring a supermajority for legislation to pass, even with majority support.
Kamala Harris has notably stated, 'I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe ... to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom...'
Support for eliminating the filibuster reflects a growing sentiment among Americans, with three-quarters believing this change could ultimately be beneficial.
