the Democratic-led Senate is poised to pass a Republican resolution to overturn the D.C. government’s overhaul of its century-old criminal code, underscoring how potent an issue crime has become ahead of the 2024 elections. Highlighting weakened penalties for some offenses, President Biden has blessed the resolution, which has already cleared the House, angering advocates of D.C. statehood.
The action will come amid a busy day on Capitol Hill. A Senate panel is expected to vote to rescind the congressional authorization that approved the Iraq War. Separate House committees are scrutinizing the Biden’s administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and the origins of the coronavirus. And Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell testifies in a second hearing in as many days.
