Some Democrats up for reelection are distancing themselves from Biden’s policies. Others say the GOP is the party out of step with voters on climate change.
“You see Republicans making outdated arguments that make them seem pretty out of touch with families looking to afford energy bills and land jobs of the future,” said former Rep. Tom Perriello of Virginia, whose House seat was one of 63 that Democrats lost in the 2010 midterms.
Ten to 15 years ago, “we were worried about this thing we know — taking away old energy jobs — in exchange for these new energy jobs,” he said. “Now it’s reversed. The real jobs are wiring of homes and clean energy jobs people are actually seeing.” Republicans are eager to tie the upcoming rule to one of their major themes — that Biden’s push to transition the country away from fossil fuels is worsening the inflation that’s weighing down the president’s approval ratings.
