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.”

    With Biden no, but both the House and Senate are in play, and if you win one you probably win the others because the same sentiment that brought out votes to claim the Senate boosted House races and vice versa. Trifectas in a new administration are common. Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Biden all had trifectas. The only ones who didn’t start with them were the Bushes.
