Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has mysteriously changed his tune on eliminating the Senate filibuster shortly after President Donald Trump called on Republicans to end the procedure.
On Wednesday, the anti-Trump Democrat declined to say whether he supports eliminating the filibuster, despite previously being a vocal supporter of such efforts.
Raskin previously endorsed calls to end the filibuster during the Biden administration.
The congressman was asked by CNN’s Dana Bash about President Trump’s recent comments urging Republicans to end the filibuster.
He was also asked about the GOP’s losses in several races on Tuesday and the ongoing government shutdown.
“One of the things that he has been talking about for the last couple of days more intensely is getting rid of the filibuster,” Bash asked.
