Democrats, led by Kamala Harris, have pledged to eliminate the Senate filibuster if they gain control of Congress in the 2024 election. This would allow them to pass significant legislation with just 51 votes, bypassing the need for bipartisan support. For conservatives, this is a major concern, as it could lead to the rapid implementation of left-wing policies.
At the top of Harris’ list is the goal of codifying Roe v. Wade into law. Despite polls showing that many Americans support restrictions on abortion, Harris intends to remove state limitations, establishing uniform abortion rights across the nation.

HARRIS ATTACKS: She demands an end to the filibuster and it will end America as we know it if she wins. This is one of the most important podcasts @tedcruz & I have ever done! https://t.co/ySmsC97ExE https://t.co/haYrUI2F9W

Democrats also plan to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which would eliminate voter ID requirements and legalize ballot harvesting nationwide. Critics argue that these measures would make elections less secure and increase the likelihood of voter fraud.
In addition, Democrats aim to grant statehood to Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. This move would likely result in four new Democratic senators, making it more difficult for Republicans to win control of the Senate in the future.
Kamala Harris will be this countries demise. She will destroy the constituion, pack the supreme court, do away with the fillibuster and take total contol of your life your freedoms your finances unless your a liberal marxist on her side.

With the filibuster removed, Democrats would have the power to push through other policies, such as single-payer healthcare and wealth taxes. They might also attempt to expand the Supreme Court by adding more justices, shifting the balance of power in their favor for decades.
For many conservatives, the potential elimination of the filibuster represents a critical turning point for American democracy. The 2024 election could determine whether these radical changes become a permanent part of the political landscape.
