Whenever the Democratic Party next regains unified control of the federal government (presidency plus House and Senate majorities), they will eliminate the Senate legislative filibuster.
And if and when? Because at some point, Democrats will at some point return to power, you know, they're going to get rid of the filibuster.View on YouTube
Explanation

As of 30 November 2025, Democrats do not have unified control of the federal government. Republicans hold the presidency (Donald Trump’s second, non‑consecutive term) and majorities in both the House and the Senate, i.e., a Republican trifecta, in the 119th Congress (2025–2027). (en.wikipedia.org)

Because the prediction is explicitly conditional on whenever Democrats next regain unified control (presidency + House + Senate), and that condition has not yet occurred, there is no way yet to test whether they “will eliminate the filibuster” at that future time.

Furthermore, current reporting shows the legislative filibuster is still in place in the Republican‑controlled Senate, with Majority Leader John Thune stating he lacks the votes to abolish it, despite pressure from President Trump. (nypost.com) This confirms that the rule has not yet been removed, but that still does not say what Democrats would do if and when they next control the presidency and both chambers.

So the prediction is too early to evaluate: the triggering scenario (Democratic trifecta) has not happened, making the outcome of the prediction unknown at this time.
