en. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said in a statement on Wednesday that he would support changes to break the filibuster to pass two voting rights reform bills.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Tuesday that the Democrat-led Senate will move to strike the 60-vote threshold to advance legislation and instead replace it with a “talking filibuster.” The taking filibuster would require senators to continuously speak on the Senate floor to avoid ending debate on proposed bills. At the end of debate, the bill would require only 51 votes to pass through Congress’s upper chamber.
Kelly, who is up for reelection in 2022 in the battleground state of Arizona, said he would back the proposed reforms.
Kelly said:
If campaign finance and voting rights reforms are blocked again this week, I will support the proposed changes to pass them with a majority vote. Protecting the vote-by-mail system used by a majority of Arizonans and getting dark money out of elections is too important to let fall victim to Washington dysfunction.

If NASA functioned like the United States Senate, they would never get the rocket off the launchpad.

Mark Kelly, astronut. Lost in Space.
Kelly is a “Do what your told” RAT.
His one accomplishment was getting launched into space.
Maybe that explains why McCain was nuts too.
Did anyone expect differently from him or expect him not to vote this way?
but to kill the filibuster rule—don’t they still need az senator sinema and the west virginia senator.
Given that absolutely ANYBODY who wants to vote can vote...
What is in these bills that is so important to the left?
Why an article just about Mark Kelly? There are a bunch of rats (48 to be exact) that are for this country-destroying piece of shit.
The best word you said was “Hanging”...and that should be happening...all across this Nation.
Uh, they ain’t worried now.
If not for those other 2, who on that side was not for it?
Don’t set your sights on an individual, see the almost entire party as it is.
A disgrace to the ass-tro-naught corpse and the US Navy. Well maybe not today’s Navy. To my and my dad’s Navy, yeah!
but to kill the filibuster rule—don’t they still need az senator sinema and the west virginia senator.Yes.
The MSM is trying to create a cascade that will sweep up the wayward Democrats.
Do not forget..
Mark Kelly bought an AR15 and gifted it to another person after the Sandy Hook shooting.
He got away with it.
Claimed he was trying to save children by buying it instead of someone else buying it.
Every time Kelly is brought up he needs to be connected with the fact that he is a felon.
