Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is seeking to overturn California's electric vehicle mandate, a move being criticized by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) as a "nuclear option."
In December, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Biden administration approved a California state rule requiring all new cars sold in the state to be electric or otherwise non-emitting by 2035. Months later, Thune is trying to overturn that.
