A coalition of 25 Senate Republicans joined by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.,are introducing legislation to block the Biden administration from moving forward with regulations targeting gas-powered car tailpipe emissions.
The lawmakers, led by Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, and Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., are expected to introduce the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act later Thursday. The legislation, if passed, would strike down the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposal unveiled earlier this year that would significantly tighten vehicle tailpipe emissions restrictions.
"Once again, the Biden administration’s rule-making process is being used to push a radical green agenda and pick winners and losers," Crapo said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Americans deserve to have access to affordable, reliable vehicles fueled by American-made energy products.
