In all six states, the leading Democratic candidate is open to eliminating the filibuster if the party wins control of the Senate in November. Leading Democratic Senate candidates from around the country are open to at least reforming the filibuster, according to a HuffPost survey, with at least two supporting wholesale elimination of the Senate’s 60-vote hurdle. But the possibility of a Democratic Senate reforming or junking the filibuster was seemingly revived this past week by an unlikely source. Among the Democratic Senate candidates looking to take Republican seats, at least two have been clear about ending the filibuster. Other Democratic candidates have been more circumspect, leaving open the possibility of supporting reforms that would stop short of totally eliminating the filibuster.
