Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) announced Wednesday that there are currently enough votes in the Senate to suspend the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade and abortion rights if Democrats win control of the House and keep the Senate and White House.

“We will suspend the filibuster. We have the votes for that on Roe v. Wade,” Warren said on ABC’s “The View.”

She said if Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress in 2025, “the first vote Democrats will take in the Senate, the first substantive vote, will be to make Roe v. Wade law of the land again in America.”

    He won’t, but Harris would. They should run Harris or Newsom or Buttigieg. I’ll vote for Joe Biden over Donald Trump but I’d rather it be any of the rest.

      I’d vote for a tree stump over Biden, but it needs to be done to save democracy.
