House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), along with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Democrat Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), and Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark (D-Md.) joined progressives to call on the Biden administration to extend the eviction moratorium until Oct. 18.
In a written statement on Monday, House Leadership said the pandemic is not over yet and those people who cannot pay their rent need Congress to extend the moratorium so states can distribute the funds previously allocated by the federal government.
