President Joe Biden on Tuesday sought to revive U.S. voting rights reforms and fight new state laws that critics say hinder Black and Hispanic voters as his Democrats face a dwindling opportunity before congressional elections this year.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris flew to Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthplace of Atlanta, where they will speak at Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College, two historically Black schools.
