Update, 7:26 Pm Pt: Democrats’ efforts to pass voting rights legislation stalled again in the Senate, as they fell short in securing a filibuster rules change that would have allowed them to clear the bills with a simple majority.
The failure of the legislation was expected, after Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-az) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-wv) announced their opposition to even a one-time modification of the rules. They joined all Republicans in voting against the proposal, while 46 Democrats and two independents supported it Some Republicans applauded in the chamber when Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-vt), the president pro tem presiding over the Senate, announced the results of the roll call.
“I will not give up. We will not give up,” Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-ga) tweeted after the vote.
In a statement, President Joe Biden said, “I am profoundly disappointed that the United States Senate has failed to stand up for our democracy.
