Harris backs ending U.S. Senate filibuster to restore abortion rights

Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, has expressed support for ending the Senate filibuster, which currently requires 60 votes to pass most legislation, in order to protect abortion rights. Since the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, several states have imposed strict abortion bans. Harris advocates for passing a national law that guarantees access to safe abortions, proposing a simple majority vote to achieve this. The filibuster has been partially removed in the past, but full elimination faces opposition from centrist senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
