Donalds leads House GOP effort to invoke ‘nuclear option’
As shown in a letter shared with the Washington Examiner, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Friday to invoke the “nuclear option” and abolish the filibuster.
Trump’s ask comes after U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) asked Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster. She applauded Trump’s sudden directive, writing in a post that “This is what I called for from the very beginning.”
