Most Republican lawmakers remain unconvinced that the government should spend nearly as much as Democrats have proposed to address climate change, and they raise concerns that tough new rules in the U.S. will put domestic firms at a disadvantage in competition with companies in countries with less stringent rules.
GOP lawmakers in both chambers voted unanimously against the budget resolution that sets a framework for the $3.5 trillion package and will allow the Senate, which is split 50-50 between the parties, to take it up without needing the 60 votes normally required to end a filibuster on legislation.
Democrats are betting that a summer of extreme weather events and grim forecasts about the planet’s future will help turn public opinion their way, in spite of forces that are largely lined up against them heading into the midterms.
One of the ads, which will air in Fresno and Bakersfield targeting California Rep. David Valadao, features images of blazing hillsides, smoldering forests and an expanse of parched, cracked soil.
“Our families are facing a crisis,” the narrator says. “Extreme weather is forcing families to leave their homes, abandon small businesses, suffer through record-breaking heat waves. But David Valadao turned his back on us.” The text “Voting against the Build Back Better plan” flashes across the screen.
