Democrats Assail 'Jim Crow' Assault On Voting Rights. So What's Their Plan?

In a speech this week, President Biden said Democrats must 'vigorously challenge' what he described as the '21st Century Jim Crow assault' on voting rights, attacking Republican-led state efforts to pass new voting restrictions.
