In order to pass a bill through the regular order, to overcome a filibuster in the Senate, that requires 60 votes \u2014 that means 50 Democrats, ten Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans are steadfast against these two bills that Democrats are trying to approve, the Freedom to Vote Act and also the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, they oppose that,\u201d Raju explained. \u201cNow the other way is to change the rules. In order two change the rules to allow the bill to pass by just 51 votes \u2014 50 votes with Kamala Harris breaking the tie \u2014 they need all Democrats on board in the 50\/50 Senate. Sinema said she will not support lowering the 60-vote threshold, she worries that could have drastic ramifications for the country in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/kyrsten-sinema-will-not-support-changing-the-filibuster-much-to-democrats-dismay\/\">Sinema<\/a> made the announcement during a floor speech, saying that while she did support both pieces of legislation in question, she felt that <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/well-lose-our-majority-schumer-hints-at-why-democrats-seem-so-desperate-to-scrap-the-filibuster\/\">changing the rules<\/a> in order to force them through would ultimately create more problems than it could fix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Manchin has not been in favor of that as well. He also opposes changing the rules along party lines,\u201d Raju noted. \u201cMeaning that there is no path for Joe Biden to move this, despite him investing political capital, despite him going to Georgia earlier this week and despite him coming up here to the Senate Democratic lunch in which he told Democrats \u2014 I\u2019m told from a Democratic Senator \u2014 that if there are no voting rights bill that there are no rights at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raju concluded by noting that even <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/election-subversion-biden-shouts-at-reporters-about-state-laws-changing-who-counts-the-vote\/\">Biden<\/a> appeared to be resigned to the fact that the election overhaul was not going to move forward at this time, telling reporters after the Senate Democratic lunch that while he hoped to get it passed, he wasn\u2019t certain that he\u2019d be able to get it done.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Biden, appearing to admit defeat on ending the filibuster &amp; nationalizing elections, randomly starts shouting: States\u2019 voter reform laws are \u201cabout who gets to count the votes!
