Video: Sen. Tim Kaine Says “Sens. Manchin and Sinema were willing to make adjustments to Senate rules to enable us to cover the nation’s debt. My argument would be voting is just as important”

See below for video of Sen. Tim Kaine on this morning’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart,” talking about the critical importance of the US Senate passing legislation (the “Freedom to Vote Act” and the “John Lewis Voting Act”) to protect voting rights and democracy in this country. As Sen. Kaine explained, “Sens. Manchin and Sinema were willing to make adjustments to Senate rules to enable us to cover the nation’s debt. My argument would be voting is just as important.” The bottom line is simple: one way or the other, the US Senate has *GOT TO* get this one.
