The Congress managed to repeal <a href="https://coingape.com/biden-admin-opposes-bill-challenging-secs-sab-121/">SAB 121</a> through a Senate vote that was 60 to 38 with a number of bi-partisan support and, similarly in the House with 228 members to 182 in support of the act. Several democrats supported the decision, meaning there was a good number of democrats who share the same view with republicans. 
Nonetheless, President Biden has not ruled out vetoing the repeal as he raises worries about dangers that may arises and affect the financial regulatory models and the cryptos market.

This resolution, described as <a href="https://coingape.com/deadline-for-biden-to-veto-sab-121-repeal-delayed/">H. J. Res 109</a>, arrived at the president’s office only recently because of the congressional hold.
