The Senate Rules Committee's official Standing Rules state under Rule XXII that debate is brought to a close only if the cloture question is decided in the affirmative by three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn, except for measures or motions to amend Senate rules, which require two-thirds of Senators present and voting.
Assessments
Crow took concrete same-term action after the 2024 House campaign by originally cosponsoring H.R.18, the 2025 Bipartisan Background Checks Act, which addressed gun violence through expanded background checks. However, the core promised mechanism was support for ending the Senate filibuster to move such legislation forward. The available evidence does not show that the Senate filibuster was ended, that H.R.18 became law, or that Crow materially advanced a Senate rules change; as a House member, his direct leverage over Senate Rule XXII was limited. This supports partial credit for gun-violence legislative effort, not full delivery of the filibuster-related outcome.
