President Trump's mounting pressure campaign to nuke the filibuster won some fresh converts Wednesday as his warning rippled across the GOP conference.

Why it matters: Trump's demand made it "uncomfortable" inside the White House's state dining room this morning, as Axios reported. • Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is now "open to changes" to the filibuster, as he told reporters after breakfast. Cornyn is facing two primary challengers and has been wooing Trump's endorsement. • Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) posted on X: "We KNOW Democrats will nuke the filibuster as soon as they're able to solidify their grip on power. We should act first in order to pass laws that benefit the AMERICAN people." • Retiring Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) also posted support: "BLOW UP THE FILIBUSTER."
