‘We’re not giving up’: Biden signals strongest push to protect voting rights

President marks 100th anniversary of Tulsa race massacre and condemns lawmakers for holding up action on voting bills

Joe Biden used the 100th anniversary of Tulsa's race massacre to condemn the past and current scourge of white supremacy in the US as a danger to the homeland - but also as a further spur for sweeping legislation to protect voting rights.

The US president signaled his strongest push yet on the fight to vote as he has warned in recent days that American democracy is under threat, while Republican-led governments in Texas and other states pass new restrictions that make it tougher to cast ballots.
