filibuster reform

Democrats are pulling out all the stops to get Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on board with an effort to reform the Senate filibuster rules in order to pass voting rights legislation.

They've turned up the star power with former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and talk show host Oprah calling Manchin and urging him to support reforms to Senate filibuster, Politico reports.

But three of Manchin's colleagues, fellow moderates who were also once skeptical of filibuster reform, are doing the bulk of the lobbying, according to Politico. Sens. Tim Kaine of Virginia, Angus King of Maine, and Jon Tester of Montana are in close talks with Manchin trying to coax him to support Senate rules changes.

After Manchin put the kibosh on passing President Joe Biden's economic spending package in December, Senate Democrats are turning to their long-stalled push to pass voting rights and democracy reform legislation.
