#670 - CDC Announces New Eviction Ban Despite Threat From The Supreme Court

The Biden administration on Tuesday announced a new, targeted federal eviction ban to replace the one that expired over the weekend, setting up a potential clash with the Supreme Court.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new ban will apply to “counties experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels” of Covid-19 and will last until Oct. 3, the agency said.

President Joe Biden had earlier Tuesday teased the announcement to reporters while cautioning that “any call for a moratorium based on the Supreme Court’s recent decision is likely to face obstacles.”

The announcement comes after a dayslong standoff with Congress in which Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats, along with progressives led by Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, waged an intense public campaign to goad the White House into action.
