Reuters: Eviction Ban Expected To Be Extended By 1 Month

The video discusses the extension of the eviction moratorium, initially set to end in June, as reported by Reuters. Lawmakers have expressed concerns to the CDC and the Biden administration about the risk of evictions for millions still behind on rent.
