Political Divide Deepens as Republicans and Democrats Clash Over EV Mandate and Funding

House Republicans have passed the CARS Act, a bill that aims to block the implementation of the EPA's new emissions rules, which could save Americans trillions of dollars in health and fuel costs and avoid nearly 10 billion tons of emissions. The bill, which is expected to be vetoed by President Biden, received support from 216 Republicans and 5 Democrats, while 197 Democrats and zero Republicans voted against it. Critics argue that the bill disregards the EPA's technology-agnostic approach and undermines efforts to protect clean air and reduce pollution.
