Clyburn asks senators 'which side are you on' for voting rights

"We are going to keep pressuring on this issue. We are not going to roll over," the Majority Whip said Sunday.

Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., on Sunday asked his colleagues in the Senate who are set to vote on voting rights legislation Tuesday: "Which side are you on?" referencing the iconic union organizing song often sung during the civil rights era.

"You know, this is Martin Luther King Jr.'s weekend. I first met Martin Luther King Jr. back in 1960. And I can remember a song, if you think back, back then, 'Which Side Are You On?,'" the majority whip told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. "That song comes to mind today when I look at these senators. Which side are you on?"

"So let's have the vote so we can get a definitive answer to the question," he added.

Despite the House passing voting rights legislation Thursday, the outcome of the effort is still a seemingly foregone conclusion with Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., opposed to removing the filibuster provision to pave a path for voting rights legislation to pass the Senate.
