GOP bets energy policy will win votes
Republicans aim to make the fossil fuel-centered energy package that passed last month in the House a core asset heading into the 2024 elections. However, new polling shared with POLITICO shows that the GOP’s message isn’t getting through to voters. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Zack Colman discuss why fossil fuel policies are a central part of the GOP’s 2024 campaign strategy, despite difficulty translating energy issues into campaign trail slogans. Plus, Republican lawmakers are urging FERC to take concrete steps to improve the reliability of the power grid.
