HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – President Joe Biden will speak in Philadelphia on Tuesday to discuss voting rights. The visit comes as fights over the 2020 presidential election and election laws roil state and U.S. capitols. The White House’s announcement Friday says only that Biden’s remarks will be on “actions to protect the sacred, constitutional right to vote.” Pennsylvania is one of the battleground states buffeted by former President Donald Trump’s baseless conspiracy theories that attribute his loss to Biden in last year’s election to widespread election fraud. In Congress last month, Democrats’ sweeping attempt to rewrite U.S. election and voting law was blocked by a Republican filibuster.
