Trump warns Republicans over Democrat plans to end filibuster and expand court
cites a report on House caucus leaders targeting the Supreme Court and Senate filibuster, warning the moves could keep his party from winning another election.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald Trump warned Republicans that Democrats plan to end the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court, citing a report he mentioned (see politico) on a Truth Social post on July 3, 2026 at 8:04 PM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “Republicans, look what I just found! The Dumocrats are openly stating that they plan to TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER if they ever take power, and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT. In other words, they will add two Radical Left States, 4 Dumocrat Senators, many Congressmen/women, their dream of 21 Supreme Court Justices (Not just 13, an unlucky number!), an impossible to beat number of Electoral College Votes (and that’s the Ballgame!), “Popular” Vote Landslides, and so much else. The Republican Party will never win another Election. How much longer are you going to allow this to happen to you? They will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER in their first hour, and I’ll be sitting home with tears in my eyes saying, “I TOLD YOU SO!” Key House caucus leaders target Supreme Court, Senate filibuster: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/06/24/congress/dem-caucuses-target-scotus-00973895"
Trump linked the warning to a report on House caucus leaders who target the Supreme Court and the Senate filibuster, which he mentioned (see politico). He said Democrats would add two states, four senators, and expand the court to 21 justices, moves he argued would deliver permanent electoral control. “The Republican Party will never win another Election,” he wrote.
The filibuster requires 60 votes to advance most legislation in the Senate, and its future has drawn repeated debate among lawmakers of both parties (see senate.gov). Fights over the Supreme Court, redistricting, and Senate rules have intensified ahead of coming election cycles (see independent.co.uk).
The post reflects a recurring theme in Trump’s recent messaging. In the last 30 days, 118 of 514 Trump posts were on topic “Elections.”
