resident Biden in a moment of brutal honesty on Thursday admitted that his push to enact changes to voting laws and the Senate’s filibuster rule may be doomed.
“The honest-to-God answer is I don’t know whether we can get this done,” Biden said after leaving a more-than-hour-long meeting with Senate Democrats to persuade them to change the Senate’s rules.
“I hope we can get this done but I’m not sure,” he said.
Biden pledged to keep fighting for election reform and voting rights legislation even if Republicans again block an effort to move legislation this weekend.
“Like every other major civil rights bill that came along, if we miss the first time, we can come back and try the second time,” he said.
Biden warned that failure could result in “election subversion.”
“If we miss this time and the state legislative bodies continue to change the law not as to who can vote but who gets to count the vote, count the vote, count the vote - it’s about election subversion, not just whether or not people get to vote,” the president said, his voice rising with passion.
“Who counts the vote? That’s what this is about, that’s what makes this so different from anything else we’ve ever done,” he added.
“I don’t know that we can get it done but I know one thing, as long as I have a breath in me, as long as I am in the White House, as long as I’m engaged at all, I’m going to be fighting to change the way these legislatures [are] moving,” he told reporters before stepping away from a microphone without taking follow-up questions.

I’ve been voting in Presidential elections since 1976 Ford/Carter, and I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a more blatantly obvious stolen election than 2020 Trump/Biden.
There is absolutely NO argument whatsoever that is was stolen. To believe it was legit you would have to believe a fool who sat in his basement his entire campaign got more votes than any candidate in history, it’s utterly laughable especially since Trump was campaigning relentlessly holding multiple rallies a day doing endless interviews.
Plus I damn well know I saw Trump ahead by 20 points in Georgia and all of sudden all these votes come in for Biden? EVERY vote? Absolutely it was fixed and now these DOMESTIC ENEMIES want to permanently fix every election from now on.
Edward G. Robinson said in the movie Key Largo that they would keep counting the votes until they win.
He admits it right there. It's not about your vote counting, it's about who counts the votes.
Wasn’t it Stalin who said, “ Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything”?
How’d that work out in Virginia last year?
Aside from the blatant power grab, can anyone tell me what Biden is ranting about?
What state legislature bodies are changing the way votes are counted?
As far as I know, any voted on or proposed changes were about voting ID, rules to be in voting lines (no free fried chicken), no ballot mail out to everyone, but just those who ask, no vote harvesting...
Is that what's Biden is bicthing about? Vote harvesting? How is disallowing something that flagrant vote counting?
Even if they manage to pass this corrupt bill, it will get a blizzard of legal challenges by the states.
Democrats love the movie Key Largo line.
YOU COUNT THE VOTES AND KEEP COUNTING THEM UNTIL THEY COME OUT RIGHT.
I don't believe it was Stalin but the sentiment is true.
We need transparency in counting votes. Right now we use voting machines which use 'proprietary software' which can't be inspected.
This needs to change. This needs to be a priority. No electronic voting system should be shielded from inspection.
