Mark Kelly: Declined to take a position on eliminating the filibuster

Kelly declined to take a position on eliminating the filibuster, a requirement for most major legislation to get 60 votes in the Senate, which many Democrats see as a major impediment to their ability to enact their agenda. He said only that he'll give it "careful consideration" if it comes up. "Washington is broken, and this highlights how broken it is that we're having these fights over old Senate rules," Kelly said.
