8 Democrats Join Republicans in House Resolution to Overturn Federal EV Rule

[Epoch Times] The U.S. House of Representatives on Sept. 20 voted to overturn a Biden administration rule that sets tougher emissions standards for car manufacturers. The resolution says the rule would artificially constrain consumer vehicle choice and weaken U.S. manufacturing and energy security.

The joint resolution that passed in a 215—191 vote—with eight Democrats in support and one Republican in opposition—would nullify the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new restrictions on emissions from cars, light trucks, pick-ups, and vans for model years 2027 to 2032.

Yes, make the Democrats go on record defending their destructive stupidity, knowing that the Senate and President Biden will ignore it. Something to tee up again next term, assuming either President Trump wins and the Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress or the Republicans win veto-proof majorities in both House and Senate to overcome President Harris.

Although the rule does not explicitly impose an electric vehicle (EV) mandate, it is expected to force manufacturers to electrify more of their fleets to comply.

The resolution passed with the support of Democrat Reps. Henry Cuellar, Vicente Gonzalez, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Texas, Yadira Caraveo of Colorado, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, and Mary Sattler Peltola of Alaska.

One Republican, Rep. Brian Fitzgerald (R-Pa.), voted against the measure.

Ahead of the vote, the White House announced its opposition to the resolution, contending that it would prompt uncertainty in the U.S. auto market and supply chains and cede the electric vehicle and battery markets to China.
