President Trump declared to reporters on Friday that Republicans would not lose a future election if the party's leadership in the Senate moved to eliminate the parliamentary procedure known as the filibuster.

"The Democrats will do this so if the Democrats are going to do it, I'm saying Republicans should do it before they get a chance," Trump said. "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election because we will have produced so many different things for our people, for the country, that it would be impossible to lose an election.”

He ticked off a list of GOP-backed legislation that could move through the chamber if the procedure was eliminated including on matters of voter ID laws, bills that deal with mail-in voting and others on immigration.
