Sen. Joe Manchin III says he wants to rescind a D.C. crime overhaul that would weaken penalties for some offenses, raising the likelihood that a disapproval resolution will get through Congress and reach President Biden.
Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, told CNN he supports the GOP resolution. The issue is a delicate one for Democrats, who are often accused of being soft on crime but tend to defend the District from GOP meddling in local affairs.
The crime overhaul also split local leaders. The D.C. Council overrode Mayor Muriel Bowser, who vetoed the bill over concerns it would weaken too many penalties amid concerns about crime in the capital. “My expectation is that some Democrats here in the Senate would vote for it. Then it would be up to Biden about what he wants to do,” Sen. John Thune, South Dakota Republican, told CNN.
