Only one House Democrat joined GOP to repeal 'short-circuiting' Biden-era regulation

Only one House Democrat joined Republicans on Wednesday in a vote to repeal a Biden-era regulation on public lands in Minnesota.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Minn., passed in a 214-208 vote.

Rep. Jarred Golden, D-Maine, voted in favor of the legislation while one Republican, Don Bacon, R-Neb., voted against it.

The public lands bill is the most recent in a string of regulations Republicans have undone in the 119th Congress — accounting for at least 10 such measures in 2025.
