.MaddowBlog: The Biden administration, at the encouragement of a Missouri Democrat who's only been in Congress for seven months, appears to have bought some time for those who need a hand.
Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., center, joined by Congressional staffers and activists, protests the expiration of the eviction moratorium outside the Capitol on July 31, 2021.It was last year when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention instituted an evictions moratorium, preventing landlords from evicting tenants that couldn't afford to make rent payments.
As a policy matter, the announcement will come as a relief to many families nationwide. While it's not a blanket moratorium against all evictions -- the original policy wasn't either -- this will keep many Americans in their homes. As the news from the CDC broke, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer quickly went to the Missouri congresswoman, who was joined by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , among others. Schumer told Bush, in reference to the new policy,"The political conditions didn't allow for a change; give Cori Bush credit for changing the political conditions.
