Texas' fight over voting rights

Texas is the latest battleground when it comes to voting restrictions. The Republican-controlled legislature could pass new laws as early as this week. Companies and activists are already lobbying against the bill which they say could be worse than the recent changes in Georgia. Plus, public health experts take a page from get-out-the-vote organizers. And, President Biden changes course on refugees. Guests: Suzanne Akhras Sahloul, founder and executive director of Syrian Community Network and Axios' Stef Kight and John Frank. Credits: Axios Today is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Dan Bobkoff, Alexandra Botti, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Sabeena Singhani, Amy Pedulla, Naomi Shavin, Alex Sugiura and Michael Hanf.
