Biden: ‘We’re Facing the Most Significant Test of Our Democracy Since the Civil War’


(Worthy News) – President Joe Biden on Tuesday accused Republicans of wanting to make it hard and inconvenient for people to vote, adding that the United States is “facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.”

The president used his speech in Philadelphia to call on Congress to pass H.R. 1, the “For the People Act” and the “John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.”

“Legislation is one tool, but not the only tool, and it’s not the only measure of our obligation to defend democracy today. For example, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that United States Department of Justice is going to be using its authorities to challenge the onslaught of state laws undermining voting rights in old and new ways. The focus will be on dismantling racially discriminatory laws like the recent challenge to Georgia’s vicious anti-voting law,” Biden said. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
