President Joe Biden announced that the Equal Rights Amendment should be viewed as ratified, emphasizing gender equality. He stated that three-fourths of states have approved it, making it a law guaranteeing equal rights regardless of sex. Despite Biden's statement, the amendment's certification remains uncertain. The National Archives leader noted it cannot be certified due to a missed deadline set by Congress. A rally supporting the amendment is planned outside the National Archives. The Equal Rights Amendment was proposed in 1972, with a ratification deadline initially set for 1979 and later extended to 1982. Virginia's ratification in 2020 brought the total to 38 states, meeting the requirement.
