Retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) gave her final speech on the Senate floor Wednesday morning, urging her fellow lawmakers to preserve the 60-vote threshold more commonly known as the filibuster.

“When holding political power, and feeling the hunger and pressure for an immediate partisan win, it is easy to view the legislative filibuster as a weapon of obstruction,” Sinema said to an audience full of lawmakers from both political parties.
