He's expected to call on the Senate to change its rules to pass voting reform.
In excerpts of the speech released Tuesday morning, the White House said Biden will pressure the Senate to act.
"The next few days, when these bills come to a vote, will mark a turning point in this nation. Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadow, justice over injustice?" he was expected to say. "I know where I stand. I will not yield. I will not flinch. I will defend your right to vote and our democracy against all enemies foreign and domestic. And so the question is where will the institution of United States Senate stand?
Biden will be speaking alongside Vice President Kamala Harris from the grounds of Clark Atlanta University and Morehouse College, but the trip has been met with criticism from some voting groups that warned in a statement to the Atlanta Constitution-Journal that "anything less" than a finalized plan to pass voting rights in the House and Senate is insufficient and unwelcome."
Notably also not attending Biden's speech is Stacey Abrams, the Georgia voting rights activist.
