Nevada U.S. Senate Debate

Published | Video Starts at 19:51

Wade federal law. So, Mister Brown, you're first here. 30 seconds to reply to this follow up. Is there any scenario where you would support getting rid of the filibuster? Absolutely not. When Republicans had control of the Senate, I was against getting rid of the filibuster. When Democrats have control of the Senate, I also would be opposed to getting rid of the filibuster. The filibuster is there for the minority. And at this point in time, as in our entire history, it is important that we protect the minority voice in this country. (19:51–43:34)

CLAIM

Asserts opposition to eliminating the filibuster regardless of which party controls the Senate.
