"Johnson stated, 'At a moment of national danger, if Democrats refuse to fund DHS, I would say this would be the time to nuke the filibuster for good.'"
"'The DHS has not been funded for the last 71 days; the department includes the president's Secret Service coverage,' Johnson emphasized during the interview."
"'It's a legitimate point of view, wanting to maintain the filibuster to block awful socialist, leftist legislation,' Johnson noted, reflecting on the current political climate."
Senator Ron Johnson called for the elimination of the filibuster to secure funding for the Department of Homeland Security, citing a recent assassination attempt on President Trump. He emphasized the urgency of the situation, arguing that Congressional Democrats have obstructed necessary legislation. Johnson expressed that maintaining the filibuster is a valid perspective but believes the Senate is already dysfunctional. He warned that Democrats would remove the filibuster if they regain the majority and stated that the current national danger justifies its removal to ensure DHS funding.
