The White House fired back at a claim, made by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) could reinstitute its ban on evictions, placed into effect at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After taking a barrage of criticism from House progressives, who even camped out on the steps of the United States Capitol after the House had left for its summer recess, Pelosi, who failed to marshal enough votes to extend the eviction moratorium through legislation last Friday, called on the CDC to extend the ban.
