WASHINGTON, July 13 (Xinhua) U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday called on Republican lawmakers to join Democrats in passing the federal legislation that will protect Americans right to vote, given a cascade of restrictive voting laws have been enacted in Republican-controlled states.
Delivering an impassioned speech in Philadelphia, the president ripped into Republican lawmakers in red states for their efforts to push for or enact laws that are intended to make it harder to vote, saying the nation is facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War while calling for a coalition of Americans of every background and political party to protect the right to vote.
