The Senate voted 50-49 to overturn an EPA rule that would create significantly stricter emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks. All 49 Republicans and Democrat Joe Manchin, W.V., voted in favor of the bill, which used a provision in the Congressional Review Act that allows Congress to overturn final agency rules with a joint resolution. …

If the House passes a joint resolution, President Biden would veto the measure.

[Someone’s hearing footsteps. Manchin voted with the GOP on this because he’s going to get creamed in WV next year no matter which office he seeks for enabling the Biden-Schumer Inflation Reduction Act. He needs some conservative cred for WV voters, and this one’s cheap because Biden’s veto makes it meaningless. I doubt Schumer or Biden even mind, since it gives Biden a chance to look tough. — Ed]
