Ted Cruz won't rule out ending the legislative filibuster

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, declined to say Thursday whether he would support the elimination of the legislative filibuster, just moments after Senate Republicans invoked the “nuclear option” to end debate on Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court by lowering the cloture threshold from 60 to 51 votes.

Cruz said that while there is not a majority to change the legislative filibuster rules, it could change if Democrats continue to block President Trump’s agenda.
