#shorts On 3/3/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “But I guess, you know, the President supports D.C. statehood; he’s been clear about that. But he’s not going to veto this bill from Congress, which does amount to Congress sort of meddling in D.C. own governance. Right? So how do you square that circle? Both things can’t be true.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, we believe both things can be true. Look, right now, D.C. is not a state. This is coming to the President. Right? This is something that’s coming to his desk, and he has to take action … we let the process move forward in Congress, and we felt this was the time to make that decision.
