Johnson has been hedging his bets on whether he will run and Rubio won’t face an insurgent campaign in the primary from Ivanka Trump – which could have complicated his chances with supporters of her father – but that isn’t keeping Democrats from taking aim at both seats with an eye on expanding control of the Senate which is currently 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaker.
The report states that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has already kicked off its campaign against the two, feeling they are vulnerable to accusations that they ignored the needs of their constituents who have been suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“There’s no way under the sun that in 2021 that we are going to allow the filibuster to be used to deny voting rights. That just ain’t gonna happen. That would be catastrophic,” Clyburn told The Guardian in an interview published Sunday, just days after the House voted largely along party lines to pass H.R. 1, also known as the For The People Act.
Clyburn clarified that he was not “going to say that you must get rid of the filibuster” but said the party “would do well to develop a Manchin-Sinema rule on getting around the filibuster as it relates to race and civil rights.”
The comments come as Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have been criticized by liberals over their opposition to certain issues supported by some on the left, including eliminating the filibuster. The lawmakers were also recently among seven Democrats this past week who voted against a proposal to increase the hourly federal minimum wage to $15.

The Colorado Republican displayed a shotgun and Glock handgun on a shelf behind her during a hearing on gun safety measures, and the stunt drew praise from her supporters – who were as eager to talk firearm minutiae as policy, reported The Daily Sentinel.
Judge Royce Lamberth said that Jacob Chansley was unrepentant and could plot further attacks against the US government if put on house arrest. He rebuked Chansley as having shown “a detachment from reality” by claiming his actions on January 6 were peaceful and harmless.
“Defendant characterizes himself as a peaceful person who was welcomed into the Capitol building on January 6th by police officers. The Court finds none of his many attempts to manipulate the evidence and minimize the seriousness of his actions persuasive,” Lamberth wrote.
On this day, 9 March 1914, women battled police in Glasgow during Emmeline Pankhurst’s speaking tour of Scotland. The famous suffragette had been temporarily released from prison to nullify her hunger strike, but now the police sought to rearrest her so she would serve the remainder of her sentence. What they didn’t expect was an organised bodyguard. Pankhurst’s protectors had barbed wire concealed in flower bouquets and clubs concealed in dresses. Some had undertaken martial arts training, and they carried at least one gun. The Glasgow Herald reported that “Unparalleled scenes of disorder took place. The police stormed the platform and for several minutes a fierce struggle took place between them and Mrs Pankhurst’s supporters, several persons being injured. Flower pots and chairs were thrown at the constables, who were obliged to draw their batons. In the course of the mêlée the excitement was intensified by a woman firing several blank rounds from a revolver.”
