Joe Manchin again refused to waver on his support for the filibuster as President Joe Biden heads to Georgia to speaking about Democratic voting bills and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer vows to debate scrapping the tool in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need some good rules changes to make the place work better. But getting rid of the filibuster doesn\u2019t make the place work better,\u201d Manchin <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alanhe\/status\/1480921003291295750\">told reporters<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin and Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema have been the two Senate Democrats consistently opposed to scrapping the filibuster, which establishes firm 60-vote threshold for most bills to pass the chamber. Others are reportedly privately opposed or have recently expressed hesitancy toward doing away with the rule altogether.<\/p>\n<p>With a total filibuster repeal that would allow Democrats to pass legislation without any GOP support all but certain to fail, Democrats have floated adjusting the rule in a smaller capacity in hopes that more senators might offer their support. Manchin said that any changes to Senate rules should have at least two-thirds support, meaning that at least 17 Republicans would have to agree if he does not waiver. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/10\/mitch-mcconnell-chuck-schumer-voting-bill-big-lie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: McConnell Blasts \u2018The Left\u2019s Big Lie\u2019 As Schumer Prepares Another Voting Bill Push)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7350559\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7350559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Joe Biden and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer walk through the Capitol on January 6, 2022.
