On Wednesday, Sen. Joe Manchin proposed legislation that would delay
implementing new tax credits for electric vehicles until strict new
battery and domestic sourcing requirements are put in place. Manchin’s
legislation adds to broader tensions over the EV tax credits, as foreign
allies are critical of the program. POLITICO’s Tanya Snyder breaks down
Manchin’s stance and whether his bill will receive broader support in
Congress. Plus, the Biden administration banned mining in over 225,000
acres of Minnesota wilderness for the next 20 years, dealing a blow to a
planned copper mine.
