In a recent party-line vote, Senate Democrats were unable to pass a resolution aimed at overturning President Donald Trump's executive order on 'Unleashing American Energy.' The resolution, introduced by Democratic Senators Tim Kaine and Martin Heinrich, was defeated 53-47.
The White House defended the executive order, arguing that rescinding it would jeopardize nearly 900,000 jobs and have a negative impact of $3.6 trillion on the economy. The order promotes domestic energy production on federal lands and eliminates a previous push for increased electric vehicle usage.
