The US Senate, dominated by GOP members, voted 51-44 to revoke California's electric car mandate, a departure from the state's rights narrative often championed by Republicans. This decision follows California's previous legislation to ban gasoline-only cars by 2025, a move that led many other states to adopt similar policies. Governor Gavin Newsom quickly announced plans to sue the federal government over the vote, arguing it infringes upon California’s rights to establish its own environmental standards. Critics highlight the hypocrisy of the Senate's move, which seems to target California's progressive policies and electorate.
The GOP-controlled US Senate's vote to revoke California's electric car mandate reflects a blatant disregard for states' rights, contradicting Republican principles.
Senator Adam Schiff emphasized that the rollback undermines California's ability to protect its citizens and manage its own environmental laws.
