Biden and Harris to speak marking one year since January 6
CBSN
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver remarks Thursday to mark one year since the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, according to a schedule released by the White House.
Both have been vocal in rejecting the violence and failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
In the Capitol, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer invoked the January 6 anniversary in an effort to move voting rights legislation that has been stalled in the Senate. Schumer said in a letter to Democratic senators Monday that the Senate would debate and vote on changing the chamber's rules on the filibuster — the requirement for 60 votes to end debate — if Republicans block voting rights legislation again. A source familiar with the strategy tells CBS News that talks among some Democratic senators about potential rules changes will continue this week.
