Voters want us to end the filibuster, pass the SAVE America Act: Sen. Ron Johnson | Saturday Report

Published | Video Starts at 01:35

I've been very publicly supportive of ending the filibuster because Democrats will do so as soon as they gain the power to do it. I think we ought to end the filibuster. But we ought to do is we ought to vote. We haven't even taken a secret internal vote to see exactly where the Republican senators are on the issue [of ending the filibuster]. I think we need to take a public vote on a rule change. That'd be a 67 vote threshold on the Senate floor. (01:35–01:41)
