40Sen. Joe Biden, U.S. Senator, Delaware, Senate floor, debate over the 'nuclear option' on judicial filibusters, May 23, 2005. Source

Why it’s on the record. In 2013, Senate Democrats used the nuclear option for most nominations, with Biden as Vice President. As President, Biden said in Atlanta on Jan. 11, 2022 that if voting-rights bills were blocked, 'we have no option, but to change the Senate rules, including getting rid of the filibuster for this.'
