Don’t they need 67 votes for that to happen?

Nope FReeper friend, simple majority vote for a Senate rule change.

“Nope FReeper friend, simple majority vote for a Senate rule change. “

That is only true at the start of a senate session. They need 67 votes during the senate session.

However, some say it is possible if the President of the Senate declares a rule unconstitutional. At that point Biden would only need a majority to agree.
