Genius move by biden then
Yeah, the Inflation Reduction Act was quite deliberately designed to create a huge jobs incentive in Republican-leaning districts so that there would be real pain for Republicans who voted to repeal it. They may do so anyways.
So call congress.
Miscalculation by Biden: Trumpers will gladly absorb pain for dear leader
Most of them will, but it only takes a handful who won't to sink the bill.
Literally one R Senator said publicly that he wouldn't vote for one of Trump's worse appointees, and the pick was withdrawn.
It's a cult. As the NYT is very well aware. Reasoned argument has no role to play here.
"But but but the Democrats weren't doing enough! So I'm going to burn it all down by protest non voting!"
