In a speech on voting rights at the National Constitution Center
on Tuesday in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden called GOP voting
restrictions un-American.
PHILADELPHIA â President Joe Biden declared preserving voting rights an urgent national test of our timeâ on Tuesday but offered few concrete proposals to meet it. Texas Democrats took their own dramatic action to stymie Republican efforts to tighten ballot restrictions in their state.
Biden, who has proclaimed protecting ballot access the central cause of his presidency, has faced sharp criticism from allies for not doing more, though political headwinds and stubborn Senate math have limited his ability to act. Despite his ringing words on Tuesday, he avoided any mention of trying to alter the Senate filibuster rule that stands in the path of federal legislation.
