The Republican-led House is set to approve a resolution Wednesday that would block a District of Columbia police accountability bill, further escalating the feud over the right to self-government in the nation’s capital.
The vote on the measure — called a disapproval resolution — is the third time this year that House Republicans have sought to overturn local D.C. legislation, claiming officials have been soft on crime in the midst of a multi-year spike. But the bill is unlikely to advance in the Democratic-led Senate, and President Joe Biden has promised a veto.
