Clyburn said he hopes President Biden “will stay the course” in his State of the Union address on Feb. 7, which will be delivered on prime time television inside the U.S. House chamber.

“We are really making significant progress on behalf of the American people, and we still got some more to do,” the congressman said. “I would hope that the president will make clear his position on voting rights and the fact that we should get rid of the filibuster in order to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.”
