After the Democrats’ major voting rights bill was killed in the Senate by a GOP filibuster yesterday, some Democratic progressives are hinting that the White House should have done more to prevent the defeat. They argue that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris could have done more with their bully pulpit to increase attention and urgency around the bill. The White House, in turn, is arguing that they have done plenty to spotlight the legislation.
While all 50 Democratic senators voted in favor of the bill, the party’s more moderate lawmakers have grown even more stubborn in their stance on keeping the filibuster in light of the voting rights bill.
Biden is too worried about uniting the country to bully anything or anyone
