US Senate sinks Biden push for major voting rights reforms

Washington, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Jan, 2022 ) :US senators dealt a death blow Wednesday to President Joe Biden's push to defend voting rights against what Democrats frame as an assault by conservative states targeting racial minorities.
