He can’t, as this is an ideological split between the parties and would need to go through the house as well, where it would fail. Bringing this up now helps inform voters of an issue that could be resolved if Democrats turn out and take control of the house while retaining control of the Senate and executive branch.
I’m highly skeptical that anyone in the GOP would a) have trouble crafting a campaign message that trashes an ostensibly “clean” bill or b) lose any support over a vote either way. Anyone who cares about abortion or voting rights is already voting blue, and anyone who’s voting red at this point won’t care about this procedural tactic. We’ve been hammering Dems to get GOP votes “on the record” for decades, and it hasn’t really been the factor that moved the needle in any meaningful way.
Showing the Dems will actually do something would motivate the apathetic people. It isn’t about swaying existing voters, it is about increasing the number of people who vote by giving them something to vote for.
I don’t buy for a second that he will ditch the filibuster if the Dems have control. They could get rid of it right now and they would be no worse off than when the Republicans have the house, senate, and oval office and choose to ditch it to pass their project 2025 bullshit like they neutered it to stack the courts.
Ditching the filibuster, passing the legislation, and then blaming the house for not following through should dominate the election discussion.

The governor also mentioned a historic dimension to Helmy’s appointment; he will become the only Arab American currently serving in the U.S. Senate.
Not the best way to break that ground, but still good to see.
He’s apparently Coptic, and their feelings on Palestine can be pretty broad, so we’ll see if he ends up pushing the Senate toward a less pro-Israel stance.
