In a surgical\u00a051-44 vote, Senate Republicans\u2014led by Majority Leader\u00a0John Thune\u2014have officially rolled back California\u2019s electric vehicle mandate and the Biden-era EPA waivers that allowed a single deep-blue state to hold the national economy hostage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The vote is being hailed as a triumph of\u00a0Administrative Lethality\u00a0over the &#8220;Machine of Disruption.&#8221; By overturning the 2035 phase-out of gas-powered vehicles, the\u00a0119th Congress\u00a0has re-established\u00a0National Sovereignty\u00a0and secured the internal combustion engine as the &#8220;Liquid Gold&#8221; standard for American drivers, farmers, and ranchers.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0Gavin Newsom\u00a0and\u00a0Adam Schiff\u00a0lead a &#8220;schizophrenic&#8221; meltdown in Sacramento, the\u00a0Victorious American\u00a0mandate remains focused on energy dominance and consumer choice.<\/p>\n<p>I. CRUSHING THE \u2018FANTASYLAND\u2019 MANDATE<\/p>\n<p>For years, radical California Democrats attempted to force a 100% EV transition by 2035, ignoring the clinical reality that even in their own high-tax state, EV sales have stalled at a mere\u00a020% of the market. Majority Leader\u00a0John Thune\u00a0didn&#8217;t mince words, labeling the policy a &#8220;fantasyland&#8221; mandate that served only to enrich Chinese battery manufacturers while punishing American families.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The freedom of the road is a fundamental American right,&#8221; Sen.\u00a0John Barrasso\u00a0declared. &#8220;We will not allow one radical state to dictate what our ranchers in Wyoming or our farmers in Arkansas can drive. The war on the gas-powered engine is over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>II. THE DNC MELTDOWN: SCHUMER AND NEWSOM \u2018GOING NUCLEAR\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The reaction from the radical left has been a textbook example of\u00a0&#8220;Fake Outrage&#8221;\u00a0and projection. Minority Leader\u00a0Chuck Schumer\u00a0whined that Republicans were &#8220;going nuclear,&#8221; while Gov.\u00a0Gavin Newsom\u00a0threatened &#8220;illegal&#8221; lawsuits to maintain his grip on the national auto policy.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;standing filibuster&#8221; of litigation is expected to be met with the full weight of\u00a0Attorney General Pam Bondi\u2019s\u00a0DOJ, which is currently auditing every Biden-era environmental overreach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>III. ENERGY DOMINANCE: THE 2026 RENAISSANCE<\/p>\n<p>The 47th President\u2019s administration has consistently fought against the &#8220;Green New Scam&#8221; that killed jobs and offshored energy dependency to adversaries like China.\u00a0By protecting the gas-powered vehicle, the\u00a02026 Restoration\u00a0is making America\u00a0Rich, Safe, and Independent\u00a0again.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses and families are already fleeing California\u2019s high-regulation disaster; this Senate vote ensures the rest of the nation doesn&#8217;t fall into the same trap of &#8220;bureaucratic decay.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; EV MANDATE INCINERATED: SENATE DELIVERS 51-44 KNOCKOUT TO CALIFORNIA\u2019S \u2018FANTASYLAND\u2019 AUTO POLICY WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2014 APRIL 19, 2026\u00a0\u2014 The\u00a02026 Restoration\u00a0has achieved a massive industrial breakthrough, effectively stripping &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7444"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7444\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7446,"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7444\/revisions\/7446"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heightshowtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
