Senate Democrats plot new effort to gut filibuster but lack votes for major overhaul
“But they are running into a basic problem: the math.
*
Democrats lack the votes to change the Senate's rules by lowering the threshold for breaking a filibuster from 60 votes to 51, meaning that Senate Republicans will almost certainly maintain their power to shape the outcome of President Joe Biden's legislative agenda for at least the next two years in the evenly divided chamber, according to interviews with more than a dozen Senate Democrats.”

The dangerous ramifications of killing the filibuster
“The filibuster is the last and best mechanism available to compel some level of bipartisan cooperation to advance meaningful, durable legislation in Congress.
*
It's important to note that some of the biggest opponents of the filibuster have been the most radical and extreme voices -- not the leaders who strive for moderation.”

Democrats Would Regret Nuking the Filibuster
“This would be a mistake, both for the institution of the Senate and for the narrow partisan interests of the Democrats.
One would think that the experience that the party had the last time it took a hatchet to the filibuster would warn it off any repeat, but institutional memories aren’t exactly long in Washington these days.”

Democrats Eye Filibuster Reform With Support for Elimination Elusive
“Mitt Romney of Utah said Wednesday. "Having a talking filibuster? Heck, we could all talk. I'm not sure that changes much.””
Vox:

Joe Manchin just took an important filibuster reform off the table
“In a 50-50 Senate, every vote matters. Though Democrats can effectively change Senate rules with only a simple majority vote, they almost certainly need every single member of their caucus to back any significant change to the filibuster rule. So if Manchin — or other reform skeptics like Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) — take potential reforms off the table, that’s a serious blow to the broader project of trying to weaken the filibuster.”
