Some context: The filibuster is already a longstanding Senate rule and can't really be codified more than it is. McConnell's ask of Schumer is essentially a gentleman's agreement or promise not to nuke it. A bare majority can change this rule with a vote to set a new precedent. — PolitiTweet.org

At today's meeting, McConnell told Schumer he wants the legislative filibuster to remain in tact as part of any power-organizing deal in the 50-50 Senate for the next 2 years, per McConnell spokesman, who says talks on all aspects of it "will continue over the next several days." — PolitiTweet.org

The votes aren't there to end the legislative filibuster. Unclear that'll change. So it's a weapon Schumer can't use. But it's a bold ask of McConnell to make him promise not to—risks antagonizing the new leader's base out of the gate and giving up some leverage if times change. — PolitiTweet.org
