Press Release: Senate Republicans Block Legislation by Tim Kaine and Martin Heinrich to Repeal Trump's Energy Policies

None

Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan bill by Senators Kaine and Heinrich to repeal Trump's energy policies, citing rising costs.

Quiver AI Summary

On October 8, 2025, Senate Republicans blocked a bill introduced by Senators Tim Kaine and Martin Heinrich aimed at repealing President Trump's energy emergency declaration. This declaration allegedly enabled benefits for oil companies while bypassing environmental regulations. The bill was previously stymied in February.

Senator Kaine criticized Republican lawmakers for obstructing efforts to lower energy costs, claiming their actions result in higher prices and job losses for Americans. Heinrich echoed these sentiments, asserting that the current policies are exacerbating financial struggles for families.

The Trump administration's emergency declaration allows for expedited fossil fuel project approvals and has led to significant increases in energy costs, according to the Democrats. They argue that this approach detracts from America's energy independence and risks numerous jobs in the energy sector.
