…and neither does the GOP:
BREAKING: Senate Republicans block Democrats from starting debate on the Freedom to Vote Act.
The filibuster isn’t protecting bipartisanship, it’s ensuring its absence.

A) The Senate has failed to overcome a filibuster on the voting rights bill. It needed 60 yeas. The vote was 49 yeas and 51 nays. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) switched his vote at the end from yea to nay. Otherwise, it would have been a 50/50, party line vote.

Can a Senator do a reverse filibuster, where the Senator keeps speaking in favor of the bill until others are worn out and the bill gets approved so that the Senate can move onto something else?

I followed that link – the claim is that Schumer has more options in future discussions of this issue because he voted on the winning side.
So that was weird.
