Republicans have made it very clear that they will suppress voting and make it easier to overturn elections. Biden is wrong to think Republicans will do anything to support voting rights.
Listening carefully again to Biden's answer on voting rights at #BidenTownHall I think it revealed his deepest instincts on the issue in three distinct ways. And all of them will likely be very discouraging to voting rights advocates.

My friends on here, “why are you critical of the POTUS?”
3 reasons. He’s wrong on this and weed. And I can.
Ppl paid the ultimate cost for voting rights and the Dem caucus won’t do the bare minimum. It’s also more than JM and KS. We see y’all. https://t.co/mQ8USAWZ51
This @ElieNYC analysis of the futility of voting rights legislation without Supreme Court expansion is good and unsparing and correct, and this sentence made me audibly wince at how doomed we are https://t.co/CZcZIjW8pB pic.twitter.com/NJVQMSlQNs

One day when Mitch McConnell kills the filibuster and a president is elected by voter suppression and state legislators picking the winner, I’m sure both sides will work super hard together to pass a voting rights bill because the rights of others is what the powerful care about. pic.twitter.com/sqUJzWW7fW

GOP is opposing real Voting Rights because it doesn’t want all of us voting; doesn’t want a public investigation of a white supremacist insurrection, but if we #EndTheFilibusterNow, a relic of segregation, there will be chaos? https://t.co/zuUfu22MMn

Biden saying he wants Republicans who "know better" to support voting rights legislation is the most unconvincing thing he's said tonight. There aren't 10 Republicans of that sort in the Senate. Not even close. https://t.co/l7ZE9sasyT

They can’t out-organize this:https://t.co/qnrW4pRGSn

I don’t expect Republicans to accept the results if they lose the 2024 presidential election. The issue is how to prevent them from overturning elections. Organizing people to vote won’t solve this problem in red states.

Sad!
