Huh: 35 Democrats Voted With GOP To Kill California EV Mandate

Remember, the EV mandate was enacted by the California Air Resource Board, a group of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, and it has the force of law in California

35 Democrats vote with GOP to block Biden rule allowing Newsom’s gas car ban

Thirty-five House Democrats are rebuking the Biden administration’s 11th-hour waiver that cleared a path for California to enact a full ban on gas cars by 2035.

A Republican resolution aimed at repealing the Biden-era Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) move passed by a 246 to 164 vote on Thursday morning.

Notably, two California House Democrats were among the 35 who voted to rescind their own state’s clean energy waiver — Reps. Lou Correa and George Whitesides.

It was a stunning repudiation of their own former party leader’s policies targeting one of Democrats’ largest strongholds.

Republican leaders, meanwhile, cheered the resolution’s passage.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., said of the California waiver, “This radical measure bans the sale of gas-powered vehicles, forcing electric vehicles on the American people and taking away consumer choice.”

Too bad the resolution didn’t include anything about the members of the CARB, Gavin Newsom, the members of his admin, and the general assembly not driving EVs themselves

A resolution of disapproval, under the Congressional Review Act, allows lawmakers a mechanism to oppose unilateral rules made by federal agencies.

With 35 Democrats voting for the resolution, will the media whine about the Republicans using CRA again?
