The Senate voted to block the bill with 33 Democrat senators voting with Republicans to do so. The bill had been unanimously passed by the D.C. city council, it was vetoed by Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) in January. On February 12th D.C. city council overrode Bowser’s veto.

The bill has been criticized by many as being soft on crime, as the city’s crime continues to rise. The bill lowered penalties for several violent crimes, including robberies and carjackings.

This is the first time in over thirty years that a D.C.-passed bill has been killed by Congress and The White House. Joe Biden said that he would not veto the resolution if it made it to his desk, giving Democrats the okay to vote yes on the resolution.
