Democrats face not only the 60-vote hurdle that will allow Republicans to block most bills, but they are also grappling with internal divisions that could stop Democratic lawmakers from ridding the Senate of the filibuster or otherwise circumventing GOP opposition on key legislation, including a significant election reform bill and a major infrastructure measure.

Democrats face a filibuster as early as next week, when Schumer said he plans to call up the House-passed Paycheck Fairness Act...If the GOP filibusters the Paycheck Fairness Act next week, it will be the second time this year Republicans used the 60-vote threshold to kill Democratic legislation. Republicans last week blocked a House-passed bill that would have created an independent and bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

Schumer said he’s considering bringing a gun control measure to the Senate floor this month as well as a measure ensuring LGBTQ equality, both of which are likely to run into the filibuster roadblock because they lack meaningful GOP support.

Schumer pledged that by the end of the month, he’ll also bring up a Democratic measure that would overhaul election, campaign, and voting laws.
