4:43Now PlayingPresident Biden will head to Philadelphia to call on Americans to fight voter restriction efforts.
Republican-led states are passing and introducing laws at breakneck speeds and they say it is to protect voting right. Opponents say the laws will make it more difficult to vote.

Correspondent joins "Start Your Day" with Sharon Reed and Shannon LaNier to discuss the bigger goal Democrats have.
