Democrats’ voting rights legislation 'on ice' with opposition to filibuster change

President Biden and congressional Democrats made a new push Thursday for voting rights legislation. The House passed a repackaged set of two bills aimed at blunting Republican-passed state laws that Democrats say will limit voting. But they still face hurdles within their own party to achieve a filibuster rule change. NewsHour's Lisa Desjardins and Geoff Bennett join Judy Woodruff to discuss.
