Trump Targets Filibuster to Break Deadlock in Federal Shutdown Standoff

President Donald Trump is targeting the Senate filibuster as a potential solution to the federal government shutdown, which has been ongoing due to disagreements between Republicans and Democrats over spending priorities. The filibuster, a parliamentary procedure that allows one senator to delay a vote, could be eliminated through a simple majority vote in the House of Representatives or a joint resolution passed by Congress. This move would likely require significant support from moderate senators who have historically protected the filibuster. If successful, it could significantly alter the balance of power in the Senate and potentially break the deadlock over the shutdown.
