President Joe Biden only rarely talks about last January’s violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the conspiratorial lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen
, Biden’s tone on the need for voting rights legislation took on added urgency.
In contrast, Republicans in numerous states are promoting efforts to influence future elections by installing sympathetic leaders in local election posts and backing for elective office some of those who participated in the insurrection. So Biden tailored his first-year domestic agenda to combating what he believed to be the root causes of the unease — the shaky economy and the pandemic’s drag on it — essentially to prove that government can work effectively.
But it is voting rights that many Democrats and activists concerned about what may happen in 2022 and beyond are urging the president to make a key priority.
