Democrats plan to push clean energy to lower bills and challenge Trump’s fossil fuel agenda
After winning House and Senate majorities in the November 2026 midterms, Democrats plan to push clean energy to lower energy bills, though they lack the votes to override presidential vetoes. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said Trump's clean energy attacks drove up prices, and Democrats promise to investigate climate rollbacks when they take control in January 2027; Trump says he will veto aggressively.
