Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Monday that the chamber will take a vote on whether to change the Senate’s legislative filibuster rules by Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 17.

In a new letter to his colleagues, Schumer said the Senate will “debate and consider changes to Senate rules” if Republicans block Democrats’ latest effort to advance a voting, elections overhaul bill in the coming days.
