Washington, D.C. - As millions of Americans are still recovering from the failed policies of the Biden Administration, today the U.S. Senate rejected a bill to end President Trump’s Energy Emergency Declaration. The measure, sponsored by U.S. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) was defeated by a vote of 52-47.
”This was nothing more than a cheap political stunt that prioritized ideology over affordability and it deserved the swift death it received,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “These same Senators cry about the cost of eggs, yet they bring tone-deaf legislation like this to keep Biden’s price increases in place. Bringing prices down requires bringing energy costs down, plain and simple, a lesson lost on these out-of-touch liberals.”
According to AAA, the national average cost for a gallon of gas is $3.14 a gallon and has not been below the $3 threshold since April 2021. In June 2022, the average price reached a record $5.01 per gallon. Neither Senator Kaine or Heinrich felt this was an emergency.
Additionally, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation is currently warning of grid risks this year and the years ahead. After four years of the Biden Administration, keeping the lights on will be a bigger challenge.
