WASHINGTON — Today, Speaker Johnson released the following statement after the Biden administration finalized its misguided electric vehicle mandate.

“President Biden needs to abandon his crusade against American energy and gas-powered vehicles. Today’s rule will limit consumer choices and raise costs on American families who are already struggling from crippling inflation and high car payments. The President’s rule is going to devastate auto manufacturers who are already having a hard time selling electric vehicles all while undermining our national security by forcing us to rely more on Communist China for rare-earth minerals. More regulations and higher costs are the opposite of what our country needs. I urge him to reverse course and to do so immediately.”
