President Joe Biden reversed course this week with his announcement of a new COVID-related moratorium on evictions, but the order has already gotten strong pushback from critics. The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced the moratorium Tuesday evening, after Biden gave his approval despite previously questioning whether he had the legal authority to do so. Critics have taken issue with the moratorium, pointing to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against this kind of federal order earlier this year and billions of dollars in federal housing assistance funds that have been left unspent by the states.
