- Country:
- United States
Democrats in the U.S. Congress this week will advance voting rights legislation using a procedure that will allow quick debate in the Senate over Republican objections, according to a memo seen by Reuters.
But Democrats will not be able to pass the bill without reforming the chamber's filibuster rule that requires 60 of the 100 senators to agree on most legislation, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in the memo.
