Original Note:
Biden is referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1991, where both had been Senators for decades. Strom Thrumond would have been considered one of the most likely to vote nay along with a small handful of other Republicans, due to his strong history of opposing civil rights. https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/longest-filibuster-strom-thurmond https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1021/vote_102_1_00238.htm https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/strom_thurmond/300157
