Voting rights bill dead after Senate Republicans block it

Senate Republicans blocked a signature Democratic voting and election bill during a key test vote. Democrats were united in favor of the bill after securing support from Sen. Joe Manchin. Democratic Sen. Chris Coons joins AC360 to discuss the vote and says he doesn’t know if “there’s anything we can do to get Republicans on board with protecting access to the ballot with voting rights.” Plus, Dr. Anthony Fauci called the Delta coronavirus variant, the “greatest threat” in the country’s fight against Covid-19. Dr. Paul Offit is the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He tells Anderson Cooper we aren’t helpless here, “just get vaccinated.”
