The White House said Tuesday that President Joe Biden commended Texas state Democrats who fled the state to prevent votes on GOP election reform bills.
After more than 50 members of the Texas state House of Representatives jumped on a private plane to flee to Washington, D.C. to delay the legislative votes, as a 100-member quorum is needed to vote on the bills, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said that the president backed their efforts. He applauds their courage and adds to the urgency for passage of the For the People and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement acts, along with the all-of-government effort we have launched and the movement he s calling for today to overcome this moment with voter turnout and voter education, Jean-Pierre told reporters on Air Force One.
