Democrats plan to use House majority to prep for major climate change legislation in 2020

WaExaminer: After winning control of the House of Representatives Tuesday night, Democrats plan to counter the Trump administration on climate change policy, aiming to convince the American public of the seriousness of the problem ahead of the 2020 presidential election and the urgency of addressing it.

Ro Khanna of California, the newest Democrat to join the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, told the Washington Examiner in an interview. “We should be voting on a bold new green deal to tackle climate change as one of the first three things we do during our first 100 days.”

Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California recently said she would make climate change a major issue with Democrats controlling the lower chamber. She told the New York Times she would resurrect the defunct select committee on climate change, which the GOP killed when it took control in 2011.  read more

  2. You can bet they’ll eliminate any spending restraints and paying down the deficit will never happen. The fiscal mess will speed along like never before. The stupidity never ends.
