According to this report, only President Joe Biden can end the Senate's filibuster rules:

Some may believe that, but we're all ignoring an important thing - the US Constitution:
Article I, Section 5
2. Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
That's right - both the Senate and the House of Representatives make their own rules, and the filibuster is one of them.
Joe Biden is NOT a Senator, and adhering to the "separation of powers" doctrine, he has no business telling the US Senate what to do.
Should we foolishly allow the so-called "unitary executive" to become a "unitary government under one party control", then what we'll have is a dictatorship.
I certainly do not want that. How about you?
