Senate Republican support for eliminating the filibuster is picking up momentum after President Trump invited members of the Senate GOP conference to the White House for a breakfast meeting

After meeting with Trump, some Republican senators appear more open to nuking the 60-vote filibuster rule. But GOP Leader John Thune says, "It's just not happening."

Support for potentially getting rid of the filibuster grows among GOP senators as President Donald Trump has been pushing for it.

President Donald Trump's repeated calls over the last few days to upend the Senate filibuster rule that requires 60 votes to pass most legislation seems to have had little impact on Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who told reporters on Monday that there won't be changes to the Senate rule any time soon.

U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, who is running to be Florida's next governor, called for U.S. Senate GOP leaders to end the filibuster.

GOP senators, including Majority Leader John Thune, have defended the 60-vote requirement for legislation.

Returning from the White House Wednesday after President Donald Trump made yet another call for Senate Republicans to overturn the filibuster, Majority Leader John Thune reiterated his view that there are not the necessary votes among Senate Republicans to change the Senate rules.

Bipartisan Senate talks aimed at ending the government shutdown continued as both parties grappled with the fallout from Tuesday's elections, and the FAA said it would cut airline capacity in dozens of markets.
