Trump Promises ‘Day One’ Reversal Of Biden’s EV Mandate
Former President Trump’s campaign heavily criticized the Biden administration’s newly finalized regulations targeting gas-powered cars on Wednesday, vowing to overturn the action
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Trump campaign said the climate regulations — unveiled by the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Wednesday — would force Americans to buy expensive electric vehicles (EV) and reduce consumer choice.
The campaign further vowed that Trump would immediately strike down the regulations if he bests President Biden in their election rematch later this year.
“Joe Biden’s extreme electric vehicle mandate will force Americans to buy ultra-expensive cars they do not want and cannot afford while destroying the U.S. auto industry in the process,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital in a statement. “This radical policy is anti-jobs, anti-consumer and anti-American.”
“It will destroy the livelihoods of countless U.S. autoworkers while sending the U.S. auto industry to China. President Trump will reverse Joe Biden’s extreme electric vehicle mandate on Day One.”
The statement comes months after Trump took aim at the Biden administration’s climate agenda over its impact on blue-collar rank-and-file autoworkers.
During the United Auto Workers strike last year, the former president said the best interests of American workers were his “number one concern,” and that a forced EV transition would destroy the U.S. auto industry.
Meanwhile, under the regulations unveiled Wednesday, the federal government will enforce the most stringent tailpipe emissions restrictions ever finalized beginning with model year 2027 light-duty and medium-duty vehicles.
Those regulations are slated to progressively ramp up through 2032, forcing most new car purchases to be battery electric and plug-in hybrid within that time frame.
In one “low cost” model EPA outlined in the rule, administration officials said automakers would be forced to ensure 56 percent of light-duty car sales are battery electric and another 13 percent are hybrid by 2032, meaning nearly 70 percent of new cars would be zero-emissions or low-emissions by then.
“Three years ago, I set an ambitious target: that half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 would be zero-emission,” Biden said in a statement after the regulations were posted Wednesday.
“I brought together American automakers. I brought together American autoworkers,” he said. “Together, we’ve made historic progress. Hundreds of new expanded factories across the country. Hundreds of billions in private investment and thousands of good-paying union jobs. And we’ll meet my goal for 2030 and race forward in the years ahead.”
The EPA regulations, though, were immediately blasted by the energy industry, farm groups, consumer advocates, and Republican lawmakers who vowed to pursue legislation aimed at overturning the rules.

I was looking at a federal expenditure graph in an article this morning.
I noticed a steep increase in spending near the end of 2019. I couldn’t help but to think about Trumps September EO that started ‘warp speed’ six months BEFORE the pandemic.
Then, you think about his last EOs, where he completely unshackled lobbyists.
Or, how he dished out trillions to his buddies, while giving 330 million people 250 billion to share.
Or, how he wiped out small businesses everywhere from lockdowns over an asymptomatic fake virus that has no proof of existence. Wow, can’t wait for that fucking brainchild to make more decisions.
Or, how he authorized a complete disregard for Nuremberg and allowed experimental vaccines to be pushed on uninformed citizens without ever telling them what was in the patents.
Or, how he told his followers that he was going to “lead them to the capital” on Jan 6, only to have Jan 6 be a massively exposed false flag.
He even said that he was going to declare Antifa as a terrorist organization and stop the scripted rioting, but didn’t want to expose long time friend and business partner George Soros.
Everything Trump is a trap.
I’ll end on the FACT that it is a requirement of the EUA that “known risks” are conveyed to the patient. This did NOT occur for either test kits or vaccine patents.
The EUA was violated, and the people responsible ARE liable.
