Schumer commits Senate to sweeping elections bill vote

Chuck Schumer said Tuesday the Senate will vote on Democrats’ sweeping elections bill later this month, with or without Joe Manchin.

The commitment from the Senate majority leader to hold a roll call vote in late June all but ensures that the GOP will block it using the filibuster. But he acknowledged his party is somewhat open to change the legislation if it means they can woo Manchin to support it.

“We will vote on voting rights legislation, bold legislation, S. 1, in the last week in June,” Schumer told reporters on Tuesday afternoon. “Now, is it possible we might change a few things here and there? We’re gonna do it. We had discussions with Sen. Manchin and they’re continuing.”
