BIDEN GAMBLES FILIBUSTER ON VOTING RIGHTS REFORM
President Joe Biden took a major political gamble Tuesday, calling for an end to the Senate’s supermajority rule.
The aim is to allow Democrats to override Republican opposition to voting rights reforms, that Biden called crucial to saving U.S. democracy.
Biden called the Capitol riot by supporters of Donald Trump last year an “attempted coup.”
He said “this is the moment to decide to defend our elections, to defend our democracy.”
Biden challenged Democrats to stand up for two bills that would expand access to polls, and prevent practices that suppress Black and other Democratic-leaning voters.
