Biden steps up fight for voting rights: 'The big lie is just that -- a big lie!'

President Joe Biden delivers a major speech Tuesday from Philadelphia on voting rights as his administration wades more aggressively into the fight over ballot access.

President Joe Biden stepped up the fight for voting rights on Tuesday, speaking in the nation's birthplace of Philadelphia and invoking history, saying, "We the People began as a story that's neither simple nor straightforward. "But some things in America should be simple and straightforward. Perhaps the most important of those things, the most fundamental of those things is the right to vote, the right to vote freely," he said in a high-profile speech at the National Constitution Center. He wasted no time taking a shot at former President Donald Trump and his supporters, homing in on the 2020 election as the "most scrutinized election in American history. "More than 80 judges, including those appointed by my predecessor heard the arguments. In every case, neither cause nor evidence was found to undermine the national achievement of administering the historic election," he said.
