Republican support grows for keeping the IRA green credits

Four Senate Republicans are joining a growing number of GOP House lawmakers publicly expressing their support for keeping the clean energy tax credits in Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel, who obtained the letter with those lawmakers’ position, breaks down why there’s a growing number of Republicans defending the IRA’s green incentives and how this could set up an intra-party fight over President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda. Plus, President Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department’s agency in charge of public lands oversight abruptly withdrew her nomination on Thursday.
