Biden Won’t Veto Override of D.C. Laws

President Joe Biden told Senate Democrats on Thursday that he would sign a bill overriding the District of Columbia’s effort to overhaul how the city prosecutes and punishes crime, the AP reports.

Politico: “Biden’s disinterest in a veto threat leaves Republicans on track to roll back the new D.C. law with the support of at least one Senate Democrat when the chamber takes up the House-passed measure as soon as next week. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has already said he will support the disapproval measure, and Senate Democrats can’t afford any more defections.”
