In this article<\/h2>\n

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has backed off from a key demand that had held up a power-sharing agreement after two Democratic senators agreed not to vote to do away with the rule he wanted to preserve — the filibuster.<\/p>\n

McConnell had refused to agree to any deal with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to share power in the 50-50 Senate without a pledge that Democrats wouldn\u2019t jettison the filibuster, which allows the minority to block legislation by requiring 60 votes to advance most legislation.<\/p>\n
