'Radical Republicans' went 'nuclear' by 'twisting' rules to attack blue states: analysis

The US Senate undermined California’s ability to set its own standards governing air pollution from automobiles on Thursday, according to a Vox report.

According to the outlet, the Senate voted along party lines, 51-44, “to revoke a waiver the Environmental Protection Agency approved allowing the Golden State to implement and enforce a de facto ban on the sale of gasoline-powered cars by 2035.”

They also rescinded waivers that allowed California to set stricter emissions standards for new diesel trucks.
