Kamala Harris has taken her campaign’s radical rhetoric up a notch, calling to end the filibuster over—you guessed it—abortion. During an appearance on Wisconsin Public Radio, Harris declared, “I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe.” What she’s really saying is, “We can’t get what we want the proper way, so let’s blow up Senate rules to ram through our agenda.” The implications of such a move go far beyond abortion; this is a power grab that could completely reshape the balance of power in the United States.
The legislative filibuster has been a key feature of the Senate, designed to encourage debate and require a 60-vote threshold to pass major legislation. Harris wants to lower that threshold to 51 votes to codify Roe v. Wade and eliminate state pro-life laws. Of course, she dresses it up in the usual language about “reproductive freedom” and “letting women make decisions about their own bodies,” but the bigger picture here is about consolidating power for the Democrats. This is the furthest she’s gone in her efforts to federalize abortion and place it front and center in her campaign.
But let’s not pretend this is Harris’ first time trying to nuke the filibuster. Back in 2020, she called for ending it to pass the Green New Deal—another radical agenda item that most Americans don’t want. It’s the same old playbook: if they can’t win under the rules, they’ll just change them.
Republican Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) has been sounding the alarm about this, warning that if Democrats hold the majority, they’ll dismantle the filibuster and push through an extreme agenda. And let’s be clear: this isn’t just about abortion. Daines points out that the Democrats’ dream list includes packing the Supreme Court with 13 justices, turning D.C. and Puerto Rico into states to secure four permanent Democrat senators, and enacting a federal takeover of election laws.
“The consequences of losing right now are profound because, if we don’t take back the majority and the Democrats are in charge, they will blow up the filibuster,” Daines told Breitbart News D.C. Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.
Think that’s all? Oh no. Democrats also want to remove voter ID laws, make mail-in voting the norm, and allow ballots to trickle in weeks after Election Day. That’s right—kiss your election integrity goodbye. If they pull this off, the Democrats will ensure a permanent majority, making it nearly impossible for a center-right government to ever regain control. This isn’t about fairness or democracy; it’s about rigging the system in their favor.
Let’s not forget that the only reason Democrats haven’t already dismantled the filibuster is because Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin refused to go along with the scheme. But now both are retiring, and you can bet that if Harris and her party gain the upper hand, they’ll waste no time nuking the filibuster and passing their laundry list of far-left policies.

Harris’ call to end the filibuster is just the beginning. The consequences of losing this fight are profound. From gutting the Second Amendment to passing sweeping gun control with just 51 votes, the Democrats will stop at nothing to reshape America in their image. This isn’t about democracy; it’s about cementing their power. And if we don’t push back, they’ll succeed.
Senate Dems nuked the filibuster on judicial nominees around a decade ago, and it changed the makeup of the courts across the country including SCOTUS.
Kamala wants to do the same for legislation. It would fundamentally change America, and not for the better. pic.twitter.com/sFFrioCyT3
