In the final days before Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris gave her closing remarks in Pennsylvania during a CNN town hall event hosted by Anderson Cooper.
The problem is that instead of selling potential voters on her policy visions and legislative priorities, she spent most of the time forming word salads to easy questions and attacking former President Donald Trump.
According to Breitbart, she also called for a radical overhaul of the U.S. Senate by calling for the elimination of the filibuster rule.
The rule is used in Congress sometimes to delay or prevent a measure from passing during a full Senate vote.
Her suggestion of getting rid of the Senate filibuster came after CNN's Cooper asked her about previously mentioning codifying Roe v. Wade, noting that it would be all but impossible because of the filibuster rule.
"Let me ask you, you’ve talked about codifying Roe v. Wade, that would obviously require 60 votes in the Senate, a majority of the Senate … If that’s not possible, to codify it in the house, what do you do?” Cooper asked.
The vice president's response was easy to interpret, for once.
“I think we need to take a look at the filibuster, to be honest with you," Harris replied, implying that she's not a fan of the rule and would rather get it out of the way as a potential obstacle.

Harris has made calls to end the filibuster in the pass for various reasons, including when Democrats were trying to pass the Green New Deal through Congress.
Users across social media reacted to Harris' suggestion that the filibuster be quashed.
"Wow. Kamala Harris says she will gut the filibuster. Right after she does that, Democrats would make DC and Puerto Rico states, pack the Supreme Court, and pass unrestricted and taxpayer-funded abortion up until the moment of birth," Steve Cortes wrote on X.
Another X user wrote, "Once the filibuster is gone, they will force one-party rule on an evenly divided nation. It will be the end of our republican experiment."
It's clear that Harris is running out of things to say at this point.
