Donald J. Trump warns Democrats plan to end the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court
shared a Politico report on Democratic caucus leaders targeting the Senate filibuster and Supreme Court expansion, warning Republicans they will never win again.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald J. Trump warned Republicans that Democrats plan to terminate the Senate filibuster and expand the Supreme Court, by mentioning the source (see politico) in 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 to a Politico report detailing how key House Democratic caucus leaders have set their sights on the Supreme Court and the Senate filibuster. The report outlined proposals from Democratic members who want to reshape the judiciary and Senate procedure if their party regains control of Congress and the White House.
Trump claimed Democrats would add two new states, four new senators, and as many as 21 Supreme Court justices. He argued these changes would give Democrats an insurmountable advantage in the Electoral College and popular vote, making it impossible for Republicans to win future elections.
The Senate filibuster requires 60 votes to advance most legislation, a threshold that forces bipartisan compromise on major bills. Eliminating the filibuster would allow the Senate majority to pass laws with a simple 51-vote majority, a change that supporters say would end legislative gridlock and opponents say would strip the minority party of its ability to block extreme measures.
Expanding the Supreme Court beyond its current nine justices has drawn intense debate since Democrats first floated the idea during the Biden administration. Proponents argue expansion would restore ideological balance after Republicans confirmed three justices during Trump’s first term, while critics contend it would politicize the judiciary and trigger an escalating cycle of court-packing by each successive administration.
Trump framed his warning as urgent, telling Republicans he would be “sitting home with tears in my eyes” if they failed to act. He posed the question directly to his party: “How much longer are you going to allow this to happen to you?”
In the last 30 days, 111 of 512 Trump posts were on the topic of elections, reflecting sustained focus on electoral strategy and Democratic opposition during this period.
