Republican and Democratic lawmakers remain at a stalemate on finding a government funding solution to end what is now the second-longest shutdown in U.S. history.
The Senate failed for the 13th time on Tuesday to advance a bill that would reopen the government until Nov. 21. The House remains out of session this week.
President Donald Trump, in a lengthy social media post on Thursday night, called on Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster to pass the Republican funding bill and reopen the government.
“It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” Trump posted.
Trump said ending the filibuster was necessary because “DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY.”
The president said that while in Asia this week the question he kept getting “was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America, and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it?”
“The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY?” he added.
Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader John Thune — who Trump praised in his post — rejected the idea of eliminating the filibuster.
Some Democrats have called for ending the filibuster themselves in the past but faced headwinds from former centrist members — which Trump pointed to in his post. Trump argued if Republicans don’t end it themselves, Democrats will when they return to the majority.
