  • The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted to block a California clean air rule that would ban the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035. But before lawmakers even took that vote, California Governor Gavin Newsom was already fighting back.

Governor Gavin Newsom of California announced plans to sue the Trump administration following a Senate vote that blocked California's authority to set its own vehicle emissions standards, specifically targeting the state's rules aimed at increasing electric vehicle (EV) sales. The Senate's decision, supported by a 52-42 vote, overturned a waiver granted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that allowed California to implement stricter emissions standards than federal requirements. Newsom criticized the move as an attack on California's right to combat climate change and protect public health, emphasizing that the state would not back down from its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The lawsuit aims to challenge the federal government's overreach and defend California's longstanding ability to set its own environmental policies.
