I've asked before, got no reply, so here it is again:

What do the Dems need to abolish the filibuster? 51 (with #HeelsUp) or 60 votes.

Given that they are pressuring Manchin and Sinema HARD for their votes, I'm assuming they only need 50 Senators. If true, why the hell would the Senate allow a rule that 50 people can change rules that require 60 votes to pass. (Does my comment make sense?) It just seems absurd to me.

  1. They need 51 to change senate rules. Manchin is currently the most powerful senator.
