Black leaders to push Biden White House for more voting rights muscle

"It's up to all of us to protect that right," Biden said."This is a test of our time."

Biden met privately Monday with Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, the most vocal Democratic defender of the filibuster, and several Democratic senators huddled with Manchin on Tuesday to discuss finding a way around the filibuster for voting rights — either through amending Senate rules or with a new law. Supporters of that approach have pointed out that Congress and Biden wrote a special law this month to sidestep the filibuster to raise the debt limit.

"The frustration that many African Americans, including myself, are feeling right now is there has not been enough of a priority placed on ensuring that the rights of voters are protected," said Derrick Johnson, the president of the NAACP, who plans to attend the session with top White House officials."It has not been a priority for this administration."

While Manchin is the most vocal defender of the filibuster, the set of recalcitrants is larger than just him. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., a co-sponsor of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would require more jurisdictions to get Justice Department pre-clearance for changes to voting laws, remains a staunch defender of the filibuster.

I really, really have a hard time understanding why this isn't of top priority for the dems. How do they expect to be voted back into office if their base can't vote for them?!

We don't have them. 🦝🦝

Where are their white allies

IN STATES LIKE DELAWARE

I don’t get it - black people are allowed to vote? Why are we pretending there is suppression?

Who can not vote? Who is being stopped or prevented from voting? We already have laws to keep this from happening.

This is not the time to divide the Democrats. That's what happened in 2015 and look what that got us

That’s the beauty of the constitution. To have mechanisms in place to challenge crazy ideas. You know to keep Nazis and warlords from imposing their will on the people!

Voting? 1) The Left says Rights when they mean cheat 2) The Left says Supression when they mean can't cheat. 3) Christians want vote accuracy so logically vote cheating is anti-Christ and intolerable in America.

😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

They can't be bothered to read the Constitution that guarantees their freedom, can they? The 15th & 19th Amendments already do this.

People of color endured long lines at polling places. They almost certainly saved our democracy and they ensured Joe Biden's election. The very least Biden can do is ensure their right to vote.

When I turned 18 I registered to vote, Nov showed up at my ballot location and voted. This is not a special right just for me, any adult can do it. Stop with the bullshit, it makes you look like you can't even do the basics.

STUPIDITY at the Highest, WHY Does 'BLACK LEADERS, Control the' WHITE' HOUSE. !

😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

Maybe these Black 'Leaders' whoever they are ought to focus on the massive problem of Black crime . They wont because there is money to be made in race hustling BIG Money

Manchin and Sinema said they didnt want carveout and anything on the Filibuster... What do you know..it was carveout for the debt ceiling.... I can't wait to see how they defend this on Voting rights.

Try getting him to end WAGE GAP across America so famies can pay rent build wealth

They don't know that the legislative branch deals with legislation? And states determine their election rules. What exactly do they think Biden can do? Much of the problem isn't something the government can fix - liberals have to vote on election day.

That Black 'leaders' haven't figured out that Biden and Democratic Party leadership values Black votes not Black people is baffling. But carry on.

White voters too 🙋‍♀️🇺🇸🗳🙏

Hallelujah

😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Looks like black leaders in the US still believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy
