Republicans unleash effort to rescind

Biden's EV mandate plans

Legislation would give Americans 'freedom to decide what car works best for
them,' GOP rep says

FOX News | Thomas Catenacci & Houston Keene |July 6, 2023

A group of House Republicans is planning to introduce legislation Thursday
that would prohibit the Biden administration from implementing proposed
emissions standards designed to incentivize electric vehicle (EV)
purchases.

Led by Reps. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., and Andrew Clyd, R-Ga., the Republicans
are introducing the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act in an
effort to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from moving
forward with its tailpipe emissions proposal unveiled earlier this year.
The legislation could receive a markup hearing before the ENerging and
Commerce Committee as soon as next week. [1]Read more

Asa Hutchinson won't rule out endorsing Biden if Trump wins Republican
nomination

Washington Examiner | Julie Johnson

July 6, 2023

Presidential candidate and former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) did not rule
out endorsing President Joe Biden for reelection in 2024 if former
President Donald Trump is the eventual Republican nominee.

Hutchinson did not directly address a question from radio host Hugh Hewitt
on Thursday about the prospect of a Biden endorsement if Trump wins the
Republican primary.

"I don't expect to support Donald Trump," he told Hewitt when asked if he'd
support the GOP nominee in that case.

"So, even if he's the nominee, you're not going to be a Republican
supporter?" Hewitt asked. "Even if he is the nominee, and it's conclusive
and overwhelming, you're just going to sit it out and maybe endorse Joe
Biden?" [2]Read more

Wisconsin Republicans say voters 'doubting Trump's ability to win' after
poll shows DeSantis blowout

Wisconsin GOP leader says there's a reason 'Democrats want to run against
Trump'

FOX News | Jessica Chasmar

Some Wisconsin Republican voters are losing faith in former President Trump
as a new statewide poll showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis beating him by 16
points in a head-to-head primary matchup.

Wisconsin state Sen. Duey Stroebel, a Republican, said the poll shows
voters in the state are doubting Trump's electability amid his recent
indictment, while DeSantis has taken a "more comment sense, level-headed
approach" on the campaign trail.

"Trump, of course, did a great job as president, but DeSantis is very, very
impressive," Stroebel told Fox News Digital. "And I think more and more
people really are doubting Trump's ability to win a general election, and I
think these results kind of prove it." [3]Read more

Conservatives go to red states and liberals go to blue as the country grows
more polarized

Once he and his wife, Jennifer, moved to a Boise suburb last year, Tim Kohl
could finally express himself.

Kohl did what the couple never dared at their previous house outside Los
Angeles - the newly-retired Los Angeles police officer flew a U.S. flag and
a Thin Blue Line banner representing law enforcement outside his house.

"We were scared to put it up," Jennifer Kohl acknowledged. But the Kohls
knew they had moved to the right place when neighbors complimented him on
the display. [4]Read more

WG Discussion Points

Who Came Out Ahead On the Debt Ceiling?

WG Discussion Points | David Winston

June 30, 2023

In the bipartisan debt limit agreement, neither side got all they wanted.
Most Democrats admit that Republicans won the messaging war and that
negotiations were mostly on Republicans' terms. However both parties are
claiming a "win," so the question is who actually made progress on the
issue of the national debt?

In our latest survey for Winning the Issues (June 19-21), we tracked issue
handling of the national debt before and after the agreement. Our April
Survey (April 28-30) was done prior to the start of negotiations that began
in May. The April survey showed Republicans had an 11-point lead going into
the negotiations (46-35 R-D) but were under 50%. While Republicans
naturally had more trust in Republicans (81-9) and Democrats trusted
Democrats (16-69) to handle the issue, independents leaned toward
Republicans 39-25 but at a very soft level, with one-third (35%) that were
undecided.
