A left-leaning article by The Boston Globe highlights that Biden is expected to lay out an anti-crime strategy that focuses on gun crimes as part of an effort to stem the rise in homicides across the country. Administration officials are eager to show that Biden is attuned to the problem and taking concrete steps to reduce crime. 

The Hill published a centrist article reporting that White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that Biden “supports and stands by '' negotiators that are continuing to make progress on the hill. Top negotiators include Senator Corey Booker, Senator Tim Scott, and Representative Karen Bass.

A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Psaki said she is not aware of any changes to Biden’s support of ending cash bail even though she did not expressly stand up for the proposal. Psaki said the White House is “still finalizing the specifics” of Biden’s crime policies.
