So do you think Senator Schumer needs to, you know, commit to actually either putting that reform in place or commit to getting rid of the filibuster altogether? I introduced. I introduced these bills this year, so even when we were. Even when we didn't have the majority in the House, we have the majority in the Senate, we can't relent. We can't back up on voting rights, not even for a moment. And for me, again, we had put forward a reform that would have not involved getting rid of the filibuster, but it would have actually exacted pain on both sides. (24:38–24:50)
