even before the events of this week, the campaign for president was waged under pretty extraordinary circumstances. i mean come a current president against a former president, a felon and fraudster, 78 years old, and an 81-year-old facing calls from his own party to drop out. it was all crazy enough. and then came the horrifying assassination attempt on donald trump and if there s one thing that terrifying shooting in and pennsylvania left us with, with lots of questions. how did this happen? what were the security failures? what is the motive? what is it mean for the presidential race? i don t think we have answers to any of those questions just yet. we just don t. in in the immediate aftermath, many were . on a very sad night mike collins tweeted joe biden sent the orders. senator j.d. vance, not yet chosen as running mate said the biden campaign s rhetoric quote, led directly to president trump s attempted assassination. now it is incredibly important to note we have no

the crucial issue of voting rights in this country. we shouldn t have to debate the voting rights. we shouldn t have to debate voting rights on the floor of the united states senate. these rights should be sacrosanct but the events of the last few months compel as to how this debate now. i challenge you, republican senators. come to the floor, defend these policies. tell us how they secure the vote. tell us how they prevent nearly nonexistent voter fraud. well minority leader mitch mcconnell has promised no republicans will vote to advance the bill. that means it will likely fail, falling short of the senators needed to overcome a filibuster. senate democrats entered in agenda that was designed to fail. democratic leader plan votes on a host of the lefts most radical priorities. the particular radical proposal took priority, as one has been the same bill since the house introduced its version back in 2019 with the same partisan voters. so tomorrow s vote is now basicall
