Very strongly agree

No

The party’s mainstream position has been to keep the filibuster for legislation; Republicans have used it frequently in the Obama and Biden eras and argued it protects minority rights in the Senate.

Very strongly agree

No, it is a necessary check against the tyranny of the majority

This matches the standard Republican justification: the filibuster is a check on majoritarian overreach; McConnell and many GOP senators have explicitly used “tyranny of the majority” language in defending it.

Strongly agree

No, without it laws would wildly flip-flop every election cycle

Republicans often argue abolishing the filibuster would produce unstable policy swings when control changes; this was a common GOP warning during Democratic efforts to end or weaken the filibuster under Biden.

Disagree

Yes, but only for voting rights or constitutional matters

Republicans strongly opposed creating carve-outs for voting rights (e.g., opposition to Democrats’ 2021–2022 proposals to change filibuster rules for the Freedom to Vote/John Lewis bills), though some GOP senators have supported limited exceptions in other contexts.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Senate Republicans have generally opposed abolishing the legislative filibuster, defending the 60-vote threshold; GOP leaders (e.g., Mitch McConnell) repeatedly warned against ending it for most legislation.

Strongly disagree

Yes, the minority should not be able to hold the government hostage

GOP messaging typically rejects the idea that the minority is “holding government hostage,” instead framing the filibuster as a legitimate tool and guardrail; Republicans criticized Democratic pushes to end it in 2021–2022.
