CARS Act passes the House 

On Wednesday, the House passed the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act, H.R. 4468 by a vote of 221 to 197. All Republicans voted in favor of the bill along with 5 Democrats—Republicans, Cuellar (TX), Davis (NC), Golden (ME), Gonzalez (TX), and Peltola (AK). This bill prevents EPA from finalizing its proposed rule on vehicle greenhouse gas emissions standards (the rule would require at least 70 percent of cars to be EVs in 10 years). 

It’s possible that this bill could pass the Senate but would be vetoed. But the important thing is to get people on record rejecting or supporting regulations that make it more difficult for American families to buy the cars that make the most sense for their lives.   

John Kerry—never in doubt and always wrong
