“President Biden vowed to ramp up efforts to fight voter suppression laws Tuesday as he commemorated the 100th anniversary of the massacre here that ravaged a once-prosperous Black business district and neighborhood,” the Washington Post reports.
“Biden announced he was tapping Vice President Harris to lead the administration’s work to protect voting rights and assailed the Republican-led efforts to restrict voting rights in states across the country.”
Said Biden: “This sacred right is under assault with incredible intensity like I’ve never seen.”
It will be interesting to see if putting Harris in charge of selling HR1 will help make the sale to Joe Manchin. She’s had to mend fences with him before.
