By Jordain Carney - 01/12/22 11:28 AM EST
President Biden will meet with Senate Democrats on Thursday amid a push for his party to change the filibuster and pass voting rights legislation, a senior Democratic aide confirmed to The Hill.
Biden, according to the aide, will attend a closed-door Democratic caucus lunch "to discuss the push to pass voting rights and potential changes to Senate rules."
The meeting comes as Biden is stepping up his public push to get voting rights legislation through the Senate in the face of GOP opposition, as progressive groups have urged him to lean into the fight to win over members of his ow party on changing the rules after Democrats missed self-imposed deadlines last year.
