Pres Biden Calls For Action On Voting Rights

President Joe Biden delivered a speech in Philadelphia advocating for federal voting rights legislation. He emphasized the fundamental right to vote and criticized Republican-backed voting laws in several states. Texas Democrats fled to Washington to block a state bill and urged Congress to pass federal legislation. Republicans argue these laws ensure election integrity, while Democrats see them as anti-democratic. The passage of federal voting rights faces challenges due to Senate rules requiring a 60-vote threshold. Biden's speech did not address the filibuster issue, highlighting the ongoing political struggle over voting rights.
