\u201cYou had to stand up and command the floor, you had to keep talking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if that meant he was supporting the talking filibuster, Biden replied: \u201cI am.\u201d<\/p>\n<div

the interview aired Tuesday night. It is scheduled to be aired in full Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also see:<\/strong> Biden says Cuomo should quit if investigation confirms harassment claims<\/p>\n<p>Though Democrats have a 51-50 advantage in the Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris the tiebreaking vote, most legislation requires at least 60 votes to pass. And with little bipartisan cooperation seen so far, Republican filibusters could deny most of Biden\u2019s major legislative priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Biden had previously said he didn\u2019t want to eliminate the filibuster, as many liberal Democrats are urging. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat and a key swing vote in the Senate, has said he\u2019s open to changing the filibuster rules to make it \u201cmore painful,\u201d though he does not support eliminating it.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., threatened to grind the Senate to a halt if any changes to the filibuster rules are made. \u201cThe Senate would be more like a hundred-car pileup. Nothing moving,\u201d he said in a speech.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Mike Murphy\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mike_Murphy\"><\/span>Mike Murphy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
