Bernie Sanders Supports Eliminating Senate Filibuster  Rule to Pass Medicare for All

On the heels of introducing his latest legislative iteration of Medicare for All, Bernie Sanders has flip flopped on eliminating the Senate filibuster rule in order to pass his priority legislation.

However, less than two months ago Sanders stated he was “not crazy about getting rid of the filibuster.” And warned that “you should be a little bit nervous if Donald Trump supports it” when the president stated he was in favor of eliminating the rule.

Sanders is rushing to catch up to the Democrats’ latest race to the left on abolishing the filibuster.
