Washington — In a new interview with ABC News, President Biden endorsed the idea of making modest reforms to the filibuster as the bulk of his administration’s domestic-policy agenda heads to the U.S. Senate in the coming months.
Biden, in his first extended sit-down interview since taking office, told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he supported restoring the so-called talking filibuster, a tactic made famous in Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington when Jimmy Stewart’s character rages against political corruption on the House floor during a marathon filibuster.
