The president is expected to criticize a host of Republicans for statements, proposals and votes that he contends are hostile to the preservation of programs benefiting seniors. Follow along for updates.
House Republicans are seeking to claw back funding for climate change programs established by the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democrats’ landmark climate and health-care law.writes that there’s just one problem: The programs are bringing an influx of cash and jobs to their states, making it harder to justify repeal to their constituents. Per Maxine:
A similar problem bedeviled Republicans during their failed effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, whose provisions disproportionately benefited people in red states with some of the highest uninsured rates. “Republicans are walking into the same trap again,” Lori Lodes, executive director of the environmental group Climate Power, told The Climate 202.
“They’re trying to score political points, but they’re not thinking about what this will really mean for their communities,” said Lodes, who was involved in the fight to pass the Affordable Care Act at the Center for American Progress. Of course, GOP party-line bills are unlikely to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate or be signed into law by President Biden, who wields veto authority. But even as a messaging exercise, Republicans’ efforts to ax popular climate programs could backfire politically, critics say.
