Hey, good morning, Playbookers, and Rogum Lenovalin.

It's Tuesday, and as President Joe Biden heads to Atlanta, what's next for voting rights?

This is your Politico Playbook Daily briefing.

Plenty going on back in D.C., but the big news today comes from Atlanta.

Democratic leaders hope to spend the week before Merrill Luther King Jr. Day,

presenting a United Front for voting rights legislation,

and blasting Republicans as undemocratic,

but multiple high-profile voting rights leaders

are planning to skip President Joe Biden's speech on the matter in Atlanta today,

dismissing the address as too little, too late.

Stacey Abrams won't be there either, but she cited a scheduling conflict.

At the same time, Democrats are facing growing doubts within their own ranks about nixing the filibuster to pass the voting bills.

Politico's Burgess Everett reports that Senator Mark Kelly is undecided, while Senator

John Tester admits he's not crazy about a filibuster carve-out. That's aside from Senators Joe

Manchin in Kirsten Cinema's long-stated opposition. When it comes to what President Joe Biden

will say today, look for him to crank up the heat on the party's voting push, calling the next

few days, quote,

a turning point in this nation. Biden, whose support for the filibuster has softened since taking

office, is also expected to reiterate that he backs, quote, changing the Senate rules to ensure

it can work again. For a longer preview of President Joe Biden's speech tonight,
