A spokesperson for Fetterman said in a statement that the Washington, D.C. crime bill 'has been mishandled at every turn.'
approved a Republican-led effort to block the District of Columbia crime bill on Wednesday, Fetterman's spokesperson Joe Calvello wrote in a statement to the HuffPost:"Look this has been mishandled at every turn—from the White House blindsiding House Dems with a bait and switch, to the D.C. Council trying some last-minute hijinks to pump the [brakes] on everything," he wrote.
"And if Republicans are finally ready to address crime instead of blow[ing] hot air, then John is ready to work with them. John supports D.C. statehood and self-governance. If he were here, he would vote accordingly," Calvello wrote. Sen. John Fetterman arrives to the House Chambers for U.S. President Joe Biden's State of the Union address in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol on February 7, 2023 in Washington, DC. Fetterman's spokesperson criticized the Biden administration's handling of the D.C. crime bill.It was the first time since Fetterman's victory in the November midterms that the senator—or a spokesperson for him—spoke against the Biden administration.
The bill blocking the measure will now go to Biden's desk for his signature, and the president has said he would not veto it. His signature will prevent D.C.—which is not represented inunder the U.S. Constitution—from enacting the sentencing overhaul, the biggest revision of its criminal code in a century.
Biden said that his concern about softening sentences outweighed his opposition to Congress interfering in the affairs of D.C.
