President Joe Biden called for an end to filibusters to pass voting rights bills, asking senators to take a stand against voter suppression.

“Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? This is the time to decide to defend our election,” Biden said in a direct plea to senators.

The president and Vice President Kamala Harris visited the Historically Black Colleges and Universities campuses of Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College on Tuesday in support of the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
