I would support moving it to 55 votes—if Dems agreed to keep that in place. That would be an improvement over a simple majority—& is more likely to be achieved. (There’s nothing magic about the number 60.) https://twitter.com/neilcpa/status/1050044767046750208 …

It would be 55 for cloture right? I was under the impression it’s always been simple majority for confirmation, the 60 vote requirement was for cloture.

Correct. But the number hasn’t always been 60. It was once even higher. I’d settle for 55.
