President Biden on Thursday said that he won’t veto legislation that Republicans have championed that would undo parts of a District of Columbia crime bill.
The president told Senate Democrats about his intention to not veto the bill when he went up to the Capitol on Thursday to meet with the caucus, several senators reported after the meeting.
The bill would eliminate most mandatory sentences, lower penalties for a number of violent offenses, including carjackings and robberies, and expand the requirement for jury trials in most misdemeanor cases.
