President Joe Biden told graduates at South Carolina State University's 2021 fall commencement ceremony, "I've never seen anything like the unrelenting assault on the right to vote. Never." He also said "This battle is not over. We're going to keep up the fight until we get it done and you're going to keep up the fight and we need your help badly." He urged Congress to pass two Democratic-sponsored bills -- the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act -- that Senate Republicans have blocked.
