Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) announced Wednesday that there are currently enough votes in the Senate to suspend the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade and abortion rights if Democrats win control of the House and keep the Senate and White House.

“We will suspend the filibuster. We have the votes for that on Roe v. Wade,” Warren said on ABC’s “The View.”

She said if Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress in 2025, “the first vote Democrats will take in the Senate, the first substantive vote, will be to make Roe v. Wade law of the land again in America.”

    The Democrats are hoarding footballs at this point. They have plenty of other issues that they can pivot to. Raising the minimum wage, Medicare for all, RCV, UBI, etc.

    OTOH Republicans only have a couple footballs left before they have to resort to red herrings.

      They already have. Voter ID laws and election integrity I think might be the most obvious, suggesting that there are millions of illegal voters on the books and that reducing poll sites and making it harder to register to vote is somehow going to fix that.
