Senate GOP chatter rises on filibuster reform to end shutdown

Senate Republicans are increasingly discussing the possibility of reforming the filibuster rules to address the ongoing government shutdown. This shift in conversation comes despite Senate Majority Leader John Thune's opposition to weakening the filibuster, which is seen as a crucial tool for protecting minority party rights. The growing chatter about filibuster reform highlights the urgency of the situation and the potential for significant changes in legislative strategy if the shutdown continues.
