The Spin
Left narrative
By obstructing California's visionary gas car ban, the House has callously undermined our most critical climate leadership moment. This landmark regulation would have slashed deadly pollution, saved countless lives in vulnerable communities, and propelled America into a cleaner automotive future that automakers themselves recognize as inevitable.
Right narrative
California's vehicle ban represents dangerous overreach that would ripple across America, stripping millions of their freedom to choose affordable transportation. The EPA bypassed Congress by enabling this mandate, which would devastate manufacturing jobs while forcing unproven technology with hidden environmental costs onto unwilling consumers nationwide.
