The Senate voted to overturn President Joe Biden’s pollution limits for big rigs that Republicans said were too aggressive, but were heralded by environmentalists as long overdue.
The decision, in a 50-49 vote, rescinds rules that went into effect last month setting limits on soot and smog from heavy-duty vehicles starting in model year 2027. The White House has threatened to veto the legislation, which would require a two-thirds majority to overcome.
