evidence: Sen. Kamala Harris of California said that if she’s elected president, she will back abolishing the filibuster if Senate Republicans stand in the way of legislation to combat climate change. [...] During Wednesday’s CNN climate crisis town hall, Harris slammed a Senate committee hearing "during which the underlying premise of the hearing was to debate whether science should be the basis of public policy," eliciting murmurs from the crowd. Harris said she would first seek to work with the GOP. However, she said, "if they fail to act, as president of the United States, I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal."
