"When Democrats have the White House again, if [Republican Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell continues to put small-minded partisanship ahead of solving the massive problems facing our country, then we should get rid of the filibuster," Warren said on Twitter. Warren TWEET For generations the filibuster has been used to block progress, and in recent years, obstruction in the Senate has only gotten worse.
