Democrats Make a Final Plea For Voting Rights Legislation
Senate Democrats are making a final plea for their own colleagues to support changing the filibuster to enact voting rights legislation ahead of a high-profile showdown that is expected to come to a head as soon as Wednesday.
The Senate is not expected to take a vote on advancing voting rights legislation until 6:30 p.m., and Democrats are using the day to go to the Senate floor to push for voting legislation, even though they do not have the 50 votes needed to change the rules and allow the bill to pass without GOP support.
