John Fetterman: Now I see the truth about the filibuster
The 60-vote Senate rule forces compromise. Democrats were wrong to attack it.

It's not often you hear someone in D.C. admit they were wrong, let alone horribly wrong and the entire Democratic Party was, including me.

When Democrats had the presidency and a majority in both chambers, they were frustrated with the 60-vote threshold needed to advance legislation. Senate Democrats attempted to end the filibuster to push through President Joe Biden's agenda an effort I fully supported during my 2022 campaign.

Halfway through my first term, I now recognize how important the filibuster is and the state our country would be in without it.
