Senate Democrats Push to Overturn Trump's Energy Emergency Declaration

The Senate is set to vote on a Democratic resolution to end President Trump's order aimed at boosting U.S. energy production and reducing costs.

President Trump declared a national energy emergency on his first day back in office to expand domestic energy production and infrastructure.
Democratic Senators Tim Kaine and Martin Heinrich introduced a resolution to terminate the emergency, arguing it benefits fossil fuel companies at the expense of clean energy and American consumers.
Republicans, holding a 53-47 Senate majority, are expected to block the resolution, emphasizing the need for energy independence and more affordable energy options.
The White House warns that overturning the emergency could result in $3.6 trillion in economic losses and nearly 870,000 job cuts, citing internal analysis.
Recent polls indicate strong public support for expanding oil and gas production, with 60% of Americans backing these measures.
