President Joe Biden has signaled his support for a Republican-backed effort to rescind a Washington, DC, crime law, which has been criticized for being too lenient. The measure is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate next week, with Biden's backing and that of 31 Democrats in the House. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin has also expressed his support for the effort. It is unclear if the measure will pass, or if Biden will make any further comments on the issue.
