The DC's police reform bill will remain in effect thanks to a veto by President JoeBiden. Biden vetoed a congressional effort to overturn the bill on Thursday.
Biden vetoed a congressional effort to overturn the bill on Thursday, which is the three-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder at the hands of police officer Derek Chauvin."This morning, the president also vetoed a congressional Republican-led disapproval resolution that would have nullified crucial police reforms, many enacted in the District of Columbia on an emergency basis in 2020, after George Floyd’s murder," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Biden vowed to veto the bill and chose the symbolically important anniversary of Floyd's murder to follow through.“With today’s veto, President Biden rejected a bipartisan and commonsense effort to make our nation’s capital safer,” Vance said. “The millions of Americans who visit Washington and the brave men and women of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department deserve far better. It’s a shame they won’t get it from this administration.
