Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) announced her support for ending the filibuster on Thursday. She is the latest Democratic senator to endorse allowing the Senate to pass legislation by a simple 50 vote majority, rather than the current 60 vote threshold needed to end a filibuster.

Ive made up my mind, Smith tweeted Friday morning. We need to move this country forward, and thats why Ive decided to come out in support of eliminating the filibuster.

Smiths announcement, first reported by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune , comes after the House of Representatives passed a sweeping voting rights, campaign finance and ethics reform bill that is the top priority for Democrats in both chambers .

The voting rights reforms in the bill, which is called the For The People Act, would set a national standard for voter access by mandating that states adopt automatic and same-day voter registration as well as no-excuse absentee voting, and provide at least 15 days of early voting, among many other provisions. The bill would also limit voter restrictions like voter identification and voter roll purges.
