Where 2020 Democrats stand on
Democratic changes

Steve Bullock (Dropped out)

Governor, Montana

Bullock is no longer running for president. “I support eliminating the Senate filibuster,” Bullock told The Post. “Washington has become a place where talking has taken the place of doing.

Pete Buttigieg (Dropped out)

Former mayor, South Bend, Ind.

Buttigieg is no longer running for president. “It will be time to put an end to the filibuster that has gotten in the way of so much good policy in this country," Buttigieg said at the Iowa State Fair.

Jay Inslee (Dropped out)

Governor, Washington state

Inslee is no longer running for president. “I was the first Democratic candidate for the 2020 nomination to call for ending the filibuster. It is an arcane Senate rule that belongs in the dustbin of history,” Inslee told The Post. “It is hard to take candidates seriously who say they want to pursue major climate change or health care legislation if they cling to senatorial privilege like the filibuster.” During the second Democratic debate, Inslee said, “We’ve got to get rid of the filibuster so we can govern the United States.”

Seth Moulton (Dropped out)

U.S. representative, Massachusetts

Moulton is no longer running for president. “The filibuster is also holding us back, ensuring our laws don’t change with the will of voters,” Moulton wrote in a Washington Post op-ed. “Issues such as climate change won’t wait, and neither can we.”

Warren had previously told The Post that she was open to the change.

Andrew Yang (Dropped out)

Tech entrepreneur

Yang is no longer running for president. Yang supports ending the filibuster, his campaign website said. "I would be open to it," he previously told The Post in early 2019. "The filibuster is not in the Constitution which requires a supermajority for only very specific things like lifetime appointments and impeachment. There is a built-in system of checks and balances already without adding the filibuster. That said it should be everyone’s preference to get a clear majority of legislators on board for major legislation."

Cory Booker (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, New Jersey

Booker is no longer running for president. “Both of these suggestions, I'm not taking off the table,” Booker said of changes to the filibuster and court packing. In a March Pod Save America interview, Booker explained that “We are heading that way" toward eliminating the filibuster but that GOP leadership "would have hurt people in my community” if the filibuster were not in place. He was one of 61 senators to sign a letter supporting the 60-vote filibuster threshold in 2017.

U.S. representative, Hawaii

"Often it is the party that is in the minority that is calling for bringing about those changes and then once they get into the majority then they say no, absolutely not, we're not going to change this."

Kirsten Gillibrand (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, New York

Gillibrand is no longer running for president. "It’s a very important question. I want to weigh all the pros and the cons over the next few weeks," Gillibrand told Politico earlier this year. In 2017, she was one of 61 senators to sign a letter supporting the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Jan. 22: “If you don't have 60 votes yet, it just means you haven't done enough advocacy and you need to work a lot harder.”

Kamala D. Harris (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, California

Harris is no longer running for president. “So, again, back to the United States Congress, here’s my point. If they fail to act, as president of the United States, I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal,” Harris told a CNN climate town hall.

Bernie Sanders (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, Vermont

Sanders is no longer running for president. "I believe in filibuster reform and making it much harder for any one senator to bring the Senate to a halt," Sanders told The Post. "I also believe, as recent history has shown, that major legislation can be passed by majority vote through the budget reconciliation process." He had previously told CBS News he was “not crazy about getting rid of the filibuster.” At the third Democratic debate, Sanders said he “will not wait for 60 votes to make that happen. And you could do it in a variety of ways.” Vox explored his position on the filibuster in April.

Marianne Williamson (Dropped out)

Author

Williamson is no longer running for president. "I believe that an individual Senator who strongly opposes a piece of legislation should be allowed to hold the floor for as long as she can stand," Williamson told The Post. "But given the unprecedented partisanship that Republicans have thrust on this country — exemplified by their refusal to even hold hearings on Merrick Garland — I do not believe that the Senate can function if legislation requires a super majority to pass. Thus, I believe that individual filibusters should continue to be an option, but that they be followed by a simple up or down, majority-wins vote."

Michael Bennet (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, Colorado

Bennet is no longer running for president. Bennet was one of 61 senators to sign a 2017 letter supporting the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Steve Bullock (Dropped out)

Governor, Montana

Bullock is no longer running for president. “I’ve argued in front of the Supreme Court, and I want to believe that it isn’t a political entity and that it doesn’t take sides,” Bullock told The Post. “Mitch McConnell injected politics into the Supreme Court when he refused to hold a hearing for Merrick Garland, damaging the institution’s credibility in the eyes of the American people. I’m open to discussion on different ways we can depoliticize the Supreme Court, including expanding the court.”

Pete Buttigieg (Dropped out)

Former mayor, South Bend, Ind.

Buttigieg is no longer running for president. “We need to reform the Supreme Court in a way that will strengthen its independence and restore the American people’s trust in it as a check to the Presidency and the Congress,” Buttigieg's campaign website said. “One promising idea is to restructure the Court so that ten members are confirmed in the normal political fashion, with the other five promoted from the lower courts by unanimous agreement of the other ten. Others have proposed implementing term limits. As president, [Buttigieg] will create a bipartisan reform commission for the purpose of recommending structural improvements to protect the Supreme Court from further politicization.” His campaign told The Post on April 5 that he is open to adding justices to ‘pack’ the Supreme Court. "So, we definitely need to do structural reform on the Supreme Court. Adding justices can be part of the solution but not in and of itself, it’s not enough," Buttigieg told the Intercept.

Gillibrand is no longer running for president. Gillibrand told Politico that she is open to expanding the Supreme Court.

Governor, Washington state

Inslee is no longer running for president. "Mitch McConnell destroyed Americans’ faith in the Supreme Court to be fair and representative body by stealing a seat from Barack Obama and refusing to give Merrick Garland even a hearing.

I'm open to any ideas and discussion on how to reset that balance."

Amy Klobuchar (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, Minnesota

Klobuchar is no longer running for president. “I am open to it.

Seth Moulton (Dropped out)

U.S. representative, Massachusetts

Elizabeth Warren (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, Massachusetts

Warren is no longer running for president. “It’s not just about expansion, it’s about depoliticizing the Supreme Court,” Warren told Politico. “It’s a conversation that’s worth having.” At the October debate, Warren said, “people are talking about different options, and I think we may have to talk about them.”

Andrew Yang (Dropped out)

Tech entrepreneur

Yang is no longer running for president. "I don’t believe it’s something that should be ruled out, particularly given the hyperpartisan behavior regarding Merrick Garland and recent Supreme Court appointments," Yang told The Post. "But I think other changes to the Supreme Court, such as imposing 18-year term limits, would be equally effective at making the court more modern and responsive and would introduce new justices on a regular timeline."

Michael Bennet (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, Colorado

Bennet is no longer running for president. “Having seen up close just how cynical and how vicious the tea party guys and the Freedom Caucus guys and Mitch McConnell have been, the last thing I want to do is be those guys,” Bennet told The Post at a coffee shop in March. “What I want to do is beat these guys so that we can begin to govern again.” Bennet slammed his head on the table four times when asked about other Democrats' embrace of court packing.

Julian Castro (Dropped out)

Former mayor, San Antonio

Castro is no longer running for president. Castro does not support adding seats to the Supreme Court, but is open to other reforms, he told The Post. “I wouldn't pack the court,” Castro said at the October debate. “You know, I think the plan that [Buttigieg] mentioned is an interesting one, but I actually believe, if we were selecting from one of those things, that the smarter move might be to look at term limits or having people cycle off from the appellate courts so that you would have a replenishment of perspective.”

Former governor, Colorado

Hickenlooper is no longer running for president. "I’m concerned by the precedent this could set" Hickenlooper told The Post. "As President I could add 5 seats but the next Republican president might then add 6 more. I am concerned about the current conservative composition of the Court and the threat it poses to core values like reproductive rights and civil rights. I also condemn the refusal of the Republican Senate to give President Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, a hearing or vote, and I would support reforms that require a vote on a president’s nominee within a set period."

Former U.S. representative, Texas

Apr. 1: “My worry is that the next time the Republicans are in power, they’ll do the same thing. What may make sense is not term limits, but rotating them to the appeals court.”

That’s no longer the case," Yang told The Post. "I’d support 18-year term limits, staggered every two years, so that each president would be guaranteed the appointment of two justices per term served. Seats vacated for other reasons could be filled through the current mechanism."

Michael Bennet (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, Colorado

Bennet is no longer running for president. “It has piqued my mind,” Bennet told The Daily Beast. “We are now in a situation where, at least for the immediate future and maybe forever, we are going to put people on the Court by the barest partisan majority. We will have to have a president and the Senate from the same party [for a nominee to be confirmed]. That is an incredible distortion in our system and it hasn’t been the way it’s worked until now.” Term limits “could be an answer to it,” he said.

Cory Booker (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, New Jersey

Booker is no longer running for president. "I think we need to fix the Supreme Court," Booker said on MSNBC.

Bernie Sanders (Dropped out)

U.S. senator, Vermont

Sanders is no longer running for president. “When we look at the shameful history of why our country has banned incarcerated people from voting, we must understand that voter suppression and the efforts to rob citizens of voting rights is part of the legacy of slavery and racist attitudes post-Jim Crow,” a Sanders campaign spokesperson told The Post. Sanders “believes if you've committed a crime and you're in jail, you're paying a price. But you're still a member of American society, which means voting is still your right.” When asked about voting rights for previously incarcerated people, Sanders said, "if people have paid their debt to society, they deserve the right to vote," Sanders told The Post.

They're counted in the census, they're counted for political representation purposes. The one exception [is] for people who are violent felons.
