President Biden has made the adoption of electric vehicles a key pillar of his green agenda, and while he has bet big on phasing out gas-powered vehicles, it is unclear whether the push will help him among voters in his re-election campaign against former President Trump.
Hoenig said the Biden administration’s new emissions rules, which effectively require that nearly all vehicles must be EVs by 2032, could be an issue for some voters. A majority of Republicans surveyed told pollsters they were either unhappy or angry about the new rules, compared to only 14% of Democrats . But the dissenters in both parties largely agreed on why.
