What Mitch McConnell did today, it was a disgrace to wait until now. It was an absolute disgrace. He's a disgrace.
I have been pushing something that Norm Ornstein and I have worked on together for a long time, which would be a reform of the filibuster.
Mitch McConnell made it very clear that if in 22 they pick up the majority, that he will not allow a Biden nominee for the Supreme Court to get to -- will get heard, just like Merrick Garland.
I don`t think so. I think that they`re afraid of the base. I like what you saw there, the two Republicans spoke there do represent both sides of the party. And I think we know which side is stronger. They`re afraid.
