Current filibuster rules require 60 votes to pass most legislation instead of a simple majority.
President Joe Biden said Friday that "it's a sad day for the court and the country" after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
He noted the last time NATO updated what is essentially its mission statement was 12 years ago, when Russia was characterized as a partner, and the document didn't even mention China. The new document hammered out at the summit changes that. "The world has changed, changed a great deal since then," Biden said."This summit was about strengthening our alliances, meeting the challenges of our world as it is a day, and the threats we're going to face in the future," Biden said.
Biden also highlighted announcements at the G-7 meeting, including more economic and military assistance to Ukraine as it aims to beat back Russia's four-month invasion, and announcements on tougher sanctions meant to punish Moscow. "We are going stick with Ukraine and all of the alliance is going to stick with Ukraine as long as it takes," Biden said."I don't know what it how it's going to end, but it will not end with a Russian defeat of Ukraine in Ukraine."
