That said it should be everyone’s preference to get a clear majority of legislators on board for major legislation."

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."
