'We are not going to win the elections in 2022 unless our base is energized and ordinary people understand what we are fighting for, and how we are different than the Republicans,' said SenSanders.
"Today is not just a holiday; it's a call to action on voting rights," said LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter."If Senate Majority Leader Schumer and the rest of Senate Democrats really want to honor Dr. King's legacy, then they must pass federal voting rights legislation immediately.
If passed, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act would negate parts of the new GOP-authored laws by bolstering voter protections at the federal level. But activists fear that congressional Democrats to enact reforms before the 2022 midterms, in which Republicans are widely favored to take back the House.late last week, Sanders warned that the Democratic majority's failure to get voting rights and other key priorities across the finish line has"demoralized" voters, imperiling the party's prospects in upcoming elections.
"They're asking, 'What do the Democrats stand for?'" Sanders, the chair of the Senate Budget Committee, said of voters."Clearly, the current strategy is failing and we need a major course correction." "In my view, we are not going to win the elections in 2022 unless our base is energized and ordinary people understand what we are fighting for, and how we are different than the Republicans," he added."That's not the case now."
