Democrats in the Senate failed to pass a resolution that would have reversed President Donald Trump’s <www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump> executive order on “Unleashing American Energy” in a 53-47 party-line vote.
The White House argued that scrapping the emergency would endanger nearly 900,000 jobs and have a negative $3.6 trillion impact. The order encourages domestic energy production on federal lands and nixed a Biden-era push to strive for more electric vehicles on the road.
“Tim Kaine <www.foxnews.com/person/k/sen-tim-kaine> wants to impoverish Americans. President Donald Trump’s executive order brings America into the future and unleashes prosperity. Senator [Tim] Kaine wants to cost the economy trillions and risk losing nearly a million jobs,” deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital <www.foxnews.com/politics/exclusive-trump-warns-major-dem-against-move-could-cost-voters-trillions> on Tuesday.
Earlier on Wednesday, Sen. John Barrasso <www.foxnews.com/video/6368924062112>, R-Wyo., slammed the resolution as Democrats ‘trying to block common-sense measures” to tackle “painfully high prices.”

“After four years of reckless regulations and restrictions, energy prices have jumped 31 percent. Families are feeling it all across the country. To most Americans, this is the definition of an energy emergency. To Senate Democrats, it’s an inconvenient truth,” he said in a floor speech.
“This National Energy Emergency is part of President Trump’s swift actions, actions to unleash American energy. It’s part this broader vision of affordable, reliable, available American energy. Democrats oppose that,” the Republican continued.
