But there are not 50 votes, plus Kamala Harris, the tiebreaker, the vice president, to change the Senate rules to get rid of the filibuster, which requires 60 votes. Manchin and Sinema, not to mention Mike Kelley of Arizona and maybe Chris Coons have said they have a lot of concerns about this. Do you think today\u2019s speech would have any impact on them?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Sellers said, \u201cI mean, that is the million-dollar question.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cIf Chris Coons, Jon Tester, Mark Kelly, Kyrsten Sinema, and Joe Manchin want to be on the side of George Wallace, want to be on the side of Strom Thurmond and many others who stood in the way of civil rights \u2014 even Strom Thurmond came around on voting rights \u2014 but if they&nbsp;want to go down in history as standing on the side of segregationists and&nbsp;those who oppose people who look like me having free and fair access to the ballot, then we\u2019ll remember them as such.
