If Kamala Harris wins the presidency and Democrats control both houses of Congress, they plan to eliminate the filibuster, enabling them to pass major legislation with a simple majority. This would allow Democrats to push through their agenda without needing Republican support, raising alarms about the future of bipartisan lawmaking.
The first goal on Harris’ list is to enshrine Roe v. Wade into federal law. While most Americans support some form of abortion restrictions, Harris and her party seek to eliminate state-level limitations and make abortion rights uniform across the country. This aggressive approach to an issue as divisive as abortion could spark significant backlash.

Another target for Democrats is the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. This legislation, if passed, would end voter ID requirements and make ballot harvesting legal nationwide. Conservatives warn that these changes would make elections less secure and could lead to widespread fraud.
Beyond these measures, Democrats are considering granting statehood to Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, which would likely result in four additional Senate seats for their party. This could permanently tip the balance of power in their favor, making it harder for Republicans to win future elections.

The elimination of the filibuster would also allow Democrats to pursue policies like single-payer healthcare and judicial reforms that include adding justices to the Supreme Court. These changes could drastically alter the country’s political landscape, giving the left unchecked control over the direction of the government.
For many conservatives, this election is a crucial moment in determining whether America’s political system will continue to allow for checks and balances or if a Democratic majority will usher in a new era of partisan dominance.
