Liberals push Biden on marijuana reform ahead of midterm momentum

Democrats are beginning to pressure President Biden to take on marijuana reform as Congress struggles to find a path forward on decriminalization and as the party contemplates what’s possible before the midterms.

Liberals have been building momentum with just two months until the November elections with back-to-back wins on key pieces of Biden’s agenda, from student loans to healthcare and tax reform.

With the wind at their sails, they are now hoping to get the president on their side once again by moving towards what they believe would change the nation’s criminal justice system in a meaningful way.
