Description
The Biden administration is releasing a major new regulation aimed at
slashing or capturing emissions from new and existing coal and natural
gas plants. Republicans plan to use that regulation to attack vulnerable
Democrats and President Joe Biden heading into the 2024 elections. Some
Democrats counter that the GOP’s strategy will be out of step with
voters, while others are distancing themselves from Biden’s climate
policies. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down the complicated politics
behind Biden’s new power plant rule. Plus, the White House said on
Wednesday it wants permitting reform removed from negotiations with
Republicans to raise the debt limit.
