10:31Now PlayingWelcome to “Black News Tonight” hosted by Marc Lamont Hill.
Coming up, Democratic senator Joe Manchin said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he is against changing the Senate rules to make voting rights legislation unsusceptible to the filibuster.
A filibuster in the Senate is used to delay or block legislation and requires at least 60 votes to end one. Currently, the Senate Chamber is currently in a 50-50 split among Democrats and Republicans. It means that at least 10 Republicans must vote for a bill in order for it to pass and end the filibuster.
BNC contributor Tezlyn Figaro joins Hill on “Black News Tonight” to talk about the filibuster and voting rights legislation.
