Update #1: Biden to Endorse Changing Filibuster to Pass Voting Rights Laws (NYTimes)
Update #2: Biden confronts a skeptical base as he pushes voting rights in Georgia (Politico)
WNU Editor: It is always a sight to see when a US President is running against a US Congress that his own party controls.
And on top of everything else, aside from the Democrat base. this push to get rid of the filibuster is not a priority for the majority of Americans .... Biden's approval sits at just 44% - with only 37% of Americans backing killing the filibuster: 66% of voters say country is on 'wrong track' and majority 40% say the economy is their top concern (Daily Mail).
Regardless of the polls, the push is on to get rid of the filibuster and to make changes in how US elections are run .... Democrats team up on Manchin: Schumer says ALL his Senators are telling the moderate that they will lose elections if they don't kill the filibuster - and is sending in nine of them to 'change his mind' (Daily Mail). This tells me that the election rules that Democrats won in 2020 are not going to help them in 2022 and beyond.
Update #3: This is becoming a habit. I have lost count in the past year on how many times President Biden has said this .... Joe Biden calls Kamala 'President Harris' AGAIN in yet another slip of the tongue during voting rights speech (Daily Mail).

Might some of the gaffes be purposeful to distract the discussion from the economy, COVID and other problems the maladministration has?
Videos from 2005 and 2019 show Joe Biden saying getting rid of Senate filibuster is 'arrogance of power' after he tells Georgia crowd on Tuesday it's time get rid of it to push through voting reform

a long advocate of working with both parties, he has now given up because of the do nothing GOP that will not even support infrastructure states need and nonstop makes it impossible for nonwhite voters to vote. He saw. He studied. He learned. Why not grow as he has done?
Gotta love it. Read yesterday from a mainstream, non conservative news site the Dem leadership has called for defending the fillibuster well over 300 times times publicly in the last several years.
Careful what you wish for there tonto. You open the floodgates and boom. I kinda like the Senate as a bunch of do nothing's. They get less crap done. Takes the bastards longer to get my money.
"a long advocate of working with both parties, he has now given up because of the do nothing GOP that will not even support infrastructure states"
The infrastructure Bill had very little infrastructure spending in it. ABOUT 3% TO 4%
The 500 EV charging stations, while infrastructure, is a give away to the upper class.
And about Joe Biden being bipartisan, that is an assertion without evidence.
No that sad fucker has filled his cabinet with a bunch of whacko far leftists.
Liar
When you are against law which avoid fraud, that's because you have a strong interest on fraud.
