Trump Makes HUGE Promise Of What He'll Do 'Day One' Of Presidency

Amidst reports of the Biden administration's aggressive stance on gasoline-powered vehicles, the Trump campaign is standing up for American consumers.

As per Fox News, the administration has finalized new regulations for gas-powered cars, sparking concerns that consumers will be pushed towards purchasing expensive electric vehicles.

Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, criticized Biden's approach, stating, "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." She added, "This radical policy is anti-American, anti-jobs, anti-consumer, and anti-American."

Leavitt emphasized President Trump's commitment to reversing Biden's electric vehicle mandate on Day One, highlighting concerns about the impact on American jobs and industry competitiveness.

The new regulations, unveiled recently, include stringent tailpipe emissions restrictions starting from model year 2027 for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles, with a gradual transition towards battery electric and plug-in hybrid cars by 2032.

Under these regulations, automakers would need to ensure a significant percentage of car sales are battery electric or hybrid by 2032, leading to a majority of new cars being zero-emissions or low-emissions vehicles.

President Biden defended his administration's rules, citing progress made in collaboration with American automakers and workers. However, these regulations have faced opposition from industry leaders and concerns about affordability for consumers.

American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers President and CEO Chet Thompson and American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Mike Sommers have called on Congress to intervene, arguing that the regulations would make gas-powered vehicles unaffordable or unavailable for many Americans.

The discussion around these regulations has also intersected with political dynamics, with the United Auto Workers union's President Shawn Fain indicating that a significant portion of UAW members may not support President Biden due to concerns about economic impact and job security.

Fain's comments on the voting preferences of UAW members underscore the complexity of the issue, with economic considerations playing a significant role in shaping political allegiances within the union.
