LIVE: Republican Senators Address Soaring Crime in D.C. - Press Conference - 2/14/23

Republican Senators will hold a joint press conference regarding House Joint Resolution 26, a bill to address the rampant crime in D.C.

"Despite rising homicides, sexual abuse, motor vehicle thefts, and property crimes in our nation's capital, the D.C. Council recently passed a soft-on-crime law to lessen penalties for criminals. H.J. Res. 26 would block this dangerous bill from going into effect. The House passed H.J. Res. 26 with a bipartisan vote last week, and Republican Senators will call on Senator Schumer to bring it up for a vote on the Senate floor."

Expected to begin at 4:30 PM ET.
