President Donald Trump has urged Senate Republicans to "get rid of the filibuster," allowing them to pass legislation with a simple majority.

As shown in a letter shared with the Washington Examiner, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Friday to invoke the “nuclear option” and abolish the filibuster.

The Australian said the royals had “taken the nuclear option”, but criticised the palace, saying in its analysis: “Until now, Buckingham Palace had dished out mostly symbolic punishments against Andrew. This demotion is unprecedented in scale for the House of Windsor.” In the US, multiple papers and broadcasters covered the story.
