have a very clear answer. that is, president biden leaving absolutely no doubt he supports making changes to the filibuster rules or eliminating it altogether when it comes to voting rights legislation. the president in a fiery speech yesterday set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement in georgia but also the voting restrictions enacted in georgia and more than a dozen other states. the president making clear, making the case in the starkest terms arguing it is necessary to protect democracy to make those changes to the filibuster and pass these pieces of voting rights legislation. interestingly, the president really laid this out in terms of good versus evil. asking senators whether they want to be remembered for being on the side of mlk or being on the side of george wallace? effectively comparing them to segregationists. that's a message that wasn't just aimed, it seems, at republicans but perhaps the two democratic senators you just mentioned. manchin and sinema, who have been vocal, clear, with no

rallying this party can get around this and the lie that the election was stolen because that's continued ever since before the election was stolen. president biden talked about that. this is a republican party that's focused almost singularly on the 20 election and promoting lies that it was stolen. the former president biden is leading that effort, but it's not just about him. i think that's something that we saw from president biden yesterday, making sure people understand this is about the republican party at large. when you talk to state officials around the country, they have already been concerned they're going to be one, that some of their power was going to be taken away with some of these voting restrictions and election changes. in some of the states we've already seen that, worried about their safety and livelihoods as people continue to make threats for them and as we come to the

in the wake of the other insurrection, the slow motion one that did not culminate on january 6, but rather commenced with it. to date, 19 states have passed voting restrictions. all of them disguised as election integrity measures. despite the fact that trump's ag, bill barr, found no evidence of fraud. even worthy of investigating and his lawyer, rudy giuliani, struck out in every legal challenge. that did not slow gop efforts or shame gop leaders. all of this creates the backdrop for today's speech. president biden and vice president harris traveling to georgia. the battle was kicked off with a passage of a sweeping voter suppression bill there in april. that bill so objectionable that at the time, major league baseball moved the league's all-star game out of georgia to colorado. since then, at least 12 bills have passed.

because you're defining the conversation. and i think the president is finally beginning his -- beginning to get his sea legs on that in this moment, and let me just give a quick shoutout to my girl, simone. welcome. it's good to have you in the family. >> simone, i'm coming to you. this was an incredible speech by the president, showing the fire on the issue where a lot of the fire is. in his coalition. i hate when people talk about this as just a base issue. this is the coalition that sent him there, that cared about democracy, that may or may not have been a democrat but saw donald trump as undemocratic so i think the coalition has been waiting a long time for this speech but this was a fiery speech by the vice president and i want to read some of the lines that i think people will be talking about for a long time from her. this is what nick captures in his reporting, how normal it's become for state after state after state to pass voting restrictions. i've heard some of the things

remember. history has never been kind to those who have sided with voter suppression over voters' rights and it will be less kind for those who side with election subversion. >> the 34 voter suppression laws already passed by republican legislatures and signed into law across 19 states, that number will only grow as the gop has made clear they're out in the open about this. it is continuing these efforts in this new year, which means right now is do or die for democrats in washington. ari berman writes in "mother jones," this, quote, the stakes couldn't be higher. if democrats don't pass these voting rights bills and soon, the 2022 election will take place under voting restrictions designed to suppress turnout among democratic-leaning constituencies. gerrymandered maps that roll back representation for communities of color and election subversion laws giving stop the steal candidates unprecedented power over election administration and how votes are counted.
