Thune told me earlier today that the legislative filibuster will remain intact with no carveouts through the end of the current Congress. @DailyCaller He also floated the possibility that Dems might once again be divided on eliminating the filibuster the next time they’re in the majority. Thune recounted that Manchin and Sinema told him that 8 other Senate Democrats were privately opposed to weakening the filibuster during debate on chipping away at the 60-vote rule under Biden. “They didn't want to be the ones that took the spear as long as they [Manchin and Sinema] were willing to take it," Thune said.
