Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s position against eliminating the Senate filibuster has not changed, a spokesperson told ABC News Friday, after Trump on Thursday called on Republicans to go "nuclear" and eliminate the filibuster to pass the Republican funding bill and reopen the government.

It was completely predictable that President Donald Trump would call on Senate Republicans to end the custom of the filibuster, which has bedeviled majority parties for years.

Others, however, are apprehensive and feel that they will have to comply with Trump’s demand as “the pressure from the White House will become pretty enormous.”
