an election bill to the floor of the senate this week by democrats. chad pergram on capitol hill. does it involve senator joe manchin? >> at the center once again. this is the first real test of president biden's agenda. the senate takes a procedural vote to talk about sr1. it's expected to fall short. republicans won't help democrats. that bill doesn't have the support of all democrats. but that is not stopping the white house. >> this is going to be a cause of his presidency and yes, i wouldn't say we expect there to be 10 magical votes to appear from the republicans in the senate. they've been clear they don't want to make it easier to vote. they don't want to make it more accessible to vote. this is just a first step. >> west virginia democrat joe manchin is a hold-out. his opposition gives air cover to democrats who aren't enamored with the bill, either.
