US President Joe Biden criticized the Republican senators who block the bill on the reform of electoral law in the country, and called for a vote. The statement of the leader spread by the White House leads TASS.
The head of state indicated that the provisions of the draft law were passed five times through the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support. “Let there be a discussion and let there be a vote. The right to vote is sacred and constitutionally. It is fundamental to all other rights. The soul of America is under threat,” Biden stressed.
Republican Senators have already blocked three times the consideration of the draft law developed by democrats on changes in the electoral system, including the expansion of the possibilities for the registration of voters, the voting by mail and early.

President Joe Biden, who became the first presidential candidate from the Democratic Party for three decades who won in Georgia, criticized the law on early voting, calling him “anti-American”.
