>It is unclear if Trump misspoke when he said: "Today, I am announcing that the Second Step Act will be focused on successful reentry and reduced unemployment for Americans with past criminal records. And that’s what we are starting right away."
I don't think it's unclear. I can read this as "getting the ball rolling" and not "this bill is starting right now."
Last paragraph nails it:
>Holden gave a similarly upbeat assessment. “If you told me two years ago that we’d be talking about ‘Well, the Second Step Act hasn’t happened yet,’ that means the First Step Act did happen, and that’s a big deal," he said.
