Four new members of Congress have expressed their views on what can be accomplished in the new Congress, with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) supporting D.C. statehood and home-rule, but not the changes the D.C. Council put forward. President Biden has said he would not veto the Republican-led resolution to roll back these changes, which have been criticized by Republicans for lowering the maximum sentences for certain crimes. If passed, the resolution could soon be enacted.
