Endgame eludes Democrats despite voting rights urgency: The Note

The Biden-Harris trip to Georgia is designed to bring fresh attention and emotion in a place where voting rights have long been and continue to be relevant.

The TAKE with Rick Klein

The fight over voting rights has always turned on who has the votes.

That's been true in the states that have changed their laws since 2020, whatever inspiration lawmakers might have drawn from. It's true at the federal level, where nothing substantial has changed despite repeated pushes by Democrats.

That will remain true until or unless a few Democratic senators change their minds on changing Senate rules, regardless of the new focus President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris bring to voting rights and the Senate filibuster on Tuesday.
