Biden Could Face Veto Test Over D.C. Crime Bill

Sen. Joe Manchin (D–WV) told CNN he “will vote to rescind a controversial Washington, DC, crime law – which critics argue is soft on violent criminals – when it comes up for a vote in the Senate, likely next week.”

“Manchin becomes the first Democrat to publicly state support for the Republican legislation, which could be a politically fraught vote for Democrats, especially centrists like him who are up for reelection in red-leaning states.”

New York Times: “The White House has expressed its opposition, though officials have yet to issue a direct veto threat.”
