The House has voted to rescind a Biden administration emissions regulation for heavy-duty trucks
The Senate voted to overturn the rule in April, so it will now be sent to President Joe Biden’s desk. The White House has said the president will veto it. A veto override would require a two-thirds vote in both chambers, a high threshold not expected to be reached. Republicans criticize the emissions rule as overly burdensome, arguing it will hurt the trucking industry and have negative ripple effects through the economy.
In the Senate, the vote to overturn the rule was 50-49. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans. Republicans utilized the Congressional Review Act, which allows legislation to advance at a majority threshold, not the 60 votes typically needed to break a filibuster and pass a measure in the Senate.
