House Republicans Pass Bill to Overturn Biden's Auto Emissions Rule
The bill, which faces a likely Senate defeat and presidential veto, aims to block EPA standards that would reduce pollution and save billions.
- The House voted 215-191 to pass a resolution against the EPA's new emissions standards for vehicles.
- The EPA rule, effective from 2027 to 2032, aims to cut 7 billion tons of carbon emissions and save $100 billion annually.
- Supporters argue the rule will reduce fuel costs and health expenses, while opponents claim it forces unaffordable EV purchases.
- Eight Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the resolution, while one Republican voted against it.
- The resolution is expected to fail in the Senate and would face a veto from President Biden if it passed.
