“They're going to do that so fast. And I say, 'As long as we all know that they're going to do it,'”

President Trump, in a Punchbowl News interview, said Democrats would quickly eliminate the Senate filibuster after regaining power, asserting that everyone should recognize that outcome. He maintained Republicans should be just as willing to end the rule to enact his agenda, and warned a Democratic victory might leave him as the last Republican president. The comments come as surveys show the GOP behind by eight points in a generic congressional ballot and trailing by twenty among the most engaged voters. Trump blamed Republicans' electoral difficulties on low turnout when he is not running, rather than on economic worries like housing, food, and fuel prices. He also voiced frustration with Senate GOP leadership, including John Thune, over the SAVE America Act.
