One activist in Atlanta said, 'What we really want to see, given that he came down here, is that he's got an iron-clad deal in place. Anything short of that is really going to be disappointing.'
Continuing the argument on Tuesday, a senior aide said the president will encourage Americans to view January 6 not as the end of American democracy,"but the beginning of a renaissance for our democracy, where we stand up for the right to vote and to have that voted counted fairly – not undermined by partisans afraid of who you voted for."
"That's just, you know, very difficult for any election official to manage. And I think that undermines trust in elections," he said. "I'm sure our Democratic colleagues would have reacted well if Republicans had tried to break Senate rules so that [former Attorney General] Bill Bar could micromanage elections in blue states," he added.
Despite his decades of Senate service and continued affinity for the upper chamber, the White House aide says the president now believes that"abuse" of the once rarely-used procedural tactic"has injured the body enormously, and its use to protect extreme attacks on the most basic constitutional right is abhorrent."
