Republicans who see the commission as a threat to their midterm election hopes are poised to employ the procedural weapon to block the formation of the inquiry as early as Thursday, potentially dooming it while underscoring the power of a determined Senate minority to kill legislation even if it is popular and has bipartisan support.

It is the sort of clash that lawmakers have been anticipating since the first day of this Congress, when it was clear that the 50-50 breakdown in the Senate would make it nearly impossible for Democrats to deliver on President Biden’s agenda unless they could do away with the 60-vote threshold for advancing legislation over the objections of any senator.

After resorting to a fast-track budget maneuver to muscle through Mr. Biden’s nearly $1.9 trillion stimulus law with a simple majority vote, he has focused on moving a series of bipartisan bills, and allowed time for negotiations between Republicans and Democrats before trying to force action on a host of other issues.
