A Senate resolution to overturn Trump’s “energy emergency” fails, while resolutions overturning Biden energy policies pass in the House. Democrats called for a continuation of Biden’s energy policies to address the “climate crisis.”
—
In less than two months, President Donald Trump has taken a sledgehammer to the Biden administration’s energy policy, which pushed a Green New Deal-style agenda based on the need to address what Biden called a “climate crisis.”
Democrats are hoping to hold back the onslaught of energy policy reform and to maintain as much of the Biden-era policies as possible. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., and failed 2016 Democratic vice-presidential candidate and current Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., put forth a resolution to overturn Trump’s executive order declaring a “national energy emergency.” The Democrats’ measure failed Thursday in a 52-47 vote.
