Eleanor Holmes Norton: “Nothing more than what we saw on January 6 educates us to why it is important for the mayor of the District of Columbia…”

“Nothing more than what we saw on January 6 educates us to why it is important for the mayor of the District of Columbia to have control of the National Guard. That period during which the National Guard was held up because the mayor had no control accounted for much of the problems that we are still fighting that came out of January 6. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton). The question is on the amendment. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the ayes appeared to have it.”
