He Wasn’t Supposed to Say This Out Loud—Tim Walz Calls to End the Filibuster Entirely (Video)

In a surprising moment on a Twitch stream, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, suggested a complete end to the Senate filibuster, a key procedural tool that allows the minority party to block legislation by extending debate. Walz’s statement came during a live-streamed video gaming session with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), intended to engage young voters by combining politics with pop culture.

The Democratic campaign has taken an innovative approach to appeal to the youth demographic, particularly aiming to boost support among young men, where the Democrats have seen a smaller lead. According to recent polling, while the Harris-Walz ticket holds a 20-point advantage over former President Donald Trump among young voters overall, young men appear less enthusiastic, giving the Democrats only a 2-point edge in that group.

During the discussion, Walz addressed Senate rules, agreeing with Ocasio-Cortez that if the Democrats win in November, they should consider entirely removing the filibuster. “There’s no reason to keep it if it’s only going to be a barrier to progress,” Walz stated, marking a significant departure from traditional views on the filibuster as a check on majority rule. This statement likely raises concerns among moderates, as ending the filibuster would grant the ruling party sweeping legislative power.

The Twitch event highlights the Democrats’ new strategies to energize the youth vote, using gaming platforms to discuss policy while tackling specific challenges the party faces with young men. Watch the unexpected moment Walz makes his stance on the filibuster crystal clear below.
