This comes after President Biden informed Senate Democrats in a closed-door meeting Thursday that he would not veto legislation blocking the D.C. Council's move to soften crime laws.

Following the meeting, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., confirmed the president's plans to sign the bill once it gets to his desk. 

Biden also tweeted upon returning to the White House: "I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule – but I don’t support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor’s objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings. If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did – I’ll sign it."
