Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is teeing up a contentious vote to overturn California’s electric vehicle mandate, defying a ruling from the Senate parliamentarian.
“This week, we’re going to be moving to take up Congressional Review Act resolutions to overturn Clean Air Act preemption waivers the Environmental Protection Agency granted to California that allow California to dictate emission standards for the whole country, effectively imposing a nationwide electric vehicle mandate,” Thune said in a Tuesday floor speech.
