Biden, Schumer push to advance elections overhaul after GOP blocks bill
NY Post
President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are vowing to press forward after Republicans blocked Democrats’ sweeping elections bill, which was largely seen as a symbolic base-rallying gesture designed to show pushback on GOP state election reforms.
In a statement after the upper chamber of Congress failed to bring the For the People Act up for debate, Biden pledged that the fight to expand voting rights was “far from over.” “The creed ‘We Shall Overcome’ is a longtime mainstay of the civil rights movement,” the president said. “By coming together, Democrats took the next step forward in this continuous struggle — not just on Capitol Hill, but across the country — and a step forward to honor all those who came before us, people of all races and ages, who sacrificed and died to protect this sacred right.”
