Summary

Senate Democrats made the case for legislation to counter an onslaught of new voting restrictions around the country, but they failed to overcome a Republican blockade or unite their own members behind a change in filibuster rules to pass it. Texas' GOP attorney general told Steve Bannon on his podcast “we're done if anybody can vote” after a recent court ruling. President Joe Biden doesn't believe public opinion polls that show his popularity waning among voters who identify as politically independent. Biden also declined to say if the upcoming election would be fair and legitimate without voting rights reform. The FBI visited the Texas home of Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) as part of a “court-authorized law enforcement activity. Hosts: Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
