Voting rights bills are fizzling in Congress. Can Kamala Harris convince voters to care?

of the White House’s voting rights efforts earlier this month, meeting with a group of rogue Democratic state lawmakers from Texas on Wednesday to highlight what they call a national threat to democracy.

The strategy underscores the limits of Harris’ ability to cut deals in Congress. Unlike President Biden, who served decades as an inside player on Capitol Hill before he became President Obama’s vice president, Harris,in a more partisan era, has few major legislative achievements. But there is still opportunity for Harris to use her profile and experience on the issue in the Senate and as California’s attorney general to galvanize advocates and put a spotlight on state laws.

“If they don’t pass that [national] bill, that will be a rallying cry for many,” said Chip Felkel, a Republican consultant in Greenville. “Then it becomes their version of a culture red meat issue, which is not dumb.” “There’s no threat to the voting rights law,” he said last week. “It’s against the law to discriminate in voting based on race already.”

Two of the people who attended said she mostly took notes and asked questions about what people were doing to register voters, the hurdles they faced in getting people to the polls and the work they were doing to alert people to the threat to voting rights. “When he hears the details of how bad the legislation was in Texas, I hope he understands,” state Sen. José Menéndez said at a news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as well as state and federal members of the Texas delegation.
