And the mayor of District of Columbia even differed from the legislators who passed it, so it wasn\u2019t that clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a big supporter of statehood for the District of Columbia.

But if the president\u2019s going to do it, hey, could you give us a heads up too in the House?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden met with the Senate Democratic caucus on Thursday and revealed his intentions to not sign the resolution. This only sparked criticism from House Democrats, who claimed that they were blindsided by the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe White House f\u2014\u2013 this up royally,\u201d one House Democrat told The Hill via text message, noting the White House had previously issued a Statement of Administration Policy opposing the resolution and backing D.C., and that House Democratic leadership told lawmakers that Biden was prepared to veto the measure.<\/p>\n<p>In total, 173 House Democrats voted against the resolution, but Biden\u2019s decision scored Republicans a huge political win. Meanwhile, Democrats\u2019 dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval of it highlights the divisions within the party \u2014 as they attempt to combat attacks that they are too soft on crime.<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary\u00a0Karine Jean-Pierre defended Biden\u2019s decision and his communication on Friday, claiming he had informed House Democrats on Wednesday during their annual issues retreat in Baltimore, the day before the president announced he wouldn\u2019t veto the measure.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, liberals are furious with Biden\u2019s decision, which they see as a disregard for the city\u2019s autonomy. Biden has voiced support for statehood, but many on the left see this move as working against the D.C.

After Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) vetoed it, the city council overrode it 12-1. <\/p>\n<p>The GOP-controlled House passed the legislation\u00a0with 31 Democrats backing it. It is also likely to pass the Senate with bipartisan support in a vote as early as next week, despite the Democratic majority in the upper chamber. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
