The Trump campaign’s attacks on Democrats’ clean energy agenda have zeroed in on a problem that even those in the Biden administration admit needs fixing: The nation’s infrastructure is lagging behind the investment in renewable energy.
Surrounded by people dressed in yellow vests and hard hats at a steel facility in Potterville, Michigan, Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration’s energy policy, calling it “a war on American energy.” A closely watched, tight House race is underway in Potterville to replace Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who is running for Michigan’s open Senate seat.
“Most Americans are unaware that Harris and Biden have been shutting down entire swaths of our energy and electricity infrastructure without replacing it or even talking about it, leading to spiking electrical prices and energy prices and also an energy shortfall like we’ve never had before,” Trump said.
