President Trump called for the end of the Senate filibuster on Thursday, urging Republicans in a post on Truth Social to “initiate the ‘nuclear option” to end the government shutdown, Axios reports.

He added: “If we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, Country destroying ‘SHUT DOWN.’”
