The pieces of legislation, like the president called for restoring the Voting Rights Act today, the John Lewis bill. But that takes 60 votes.
This bill is wildly popular. This is not a hard vote. This is actually an easy vote, just like the Rescue Plan because the American public supports it. So, my hope would be it passes with overwhelming bipartisan support.
his role right now is to make sure that politicians and people in Congress understand that there are real-life people that are hurting.
