The outgoing Senate Republican leader told Semafor that he sees Kamala Harris’ recent comments about ending the 60-vote threshold to pass an abortion rights bill as a sign.

“They’re all committed to it now, because Chuck has made them take a public position. Every Democratic challenger, I’m told, running for the Senate is taking the same position,” McConnell said. “I think they fully intend to do it if they can.”

Thanks for advocating for a good reason to have democratic control of the senate

    It’s just tradition at this point. And tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.

    Also: we know Republicans don’t give a single flying fuck about tradition when the shoe is on the other foot and it’s getting in the way of their power grabs. The Supreme Court would be very different if they actually cared about respecting traditions in government (amongst many other things)
