In a Friday morning tweet, President Donald Trump again blasted the Senate's filibuster rule.

On Wednesday, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., also called for the end to the filibuster, CNN reported.

Trump has criticized the rule nearly a dozen times, including in August.

"Few bills will be passed" until the filibuster rule is removed, he said.
