The program, set up through President Joe Biden’s climate law, would benefit a Mercedes-Benz plant in South Carolina.
Oh look, MAGAs.....an imbecile, full-of-shit Republican like Nancy Mace is now begging Trump to continue Joe Biden's clean energy programs and tax credits.
It looks like Mace is all about socialism for her ruby red state of South Carolina!!
From the Washington Post --
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) privately asked the Trump administration on Tuesday to release funding for a Mercedes-Benz plant to convert to the production of electric vehicles, according to a letter obtained by The Washington Post.
In a two-page letter to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Mace asked the administration to disburse roughly $285 million for the Mercedes-Benz Vans plant northwest of Charleston, South Carolina, through a grant program approved as part of the Biden administration’s 2022 climate legislation. The grant money is part of a $1.8 billion program for shuttered or at-risk auto plants to manufacture electric vehicles and convert their supply chains.
The Trump administration has moved to withhold funding for former president Joe Biden’s climate programs and is also seeking to repeal hundreds of billions of dollars in federal clean energy incentives as part of the tax bill being debated by the Senate.
But Mace’s letter illustrates the tension some GOP lawmakers face as they seek to support Trump’s agenda while shielding the jobs that some of Biden’s programs brought to their own constituents.
Mace writes that the German company’s efforts to produce a light-duty electric van prototype would add 800 jobs, attract additional capital to the region and “ensure America-made options remain available in the commercial vehicle sector.” Mace’s district includes much of the Charleston area.
“We strongly support President Trump’s initiative to restore fiscal responsibility within the executive branch, particularly in reducing waste, fraud, and redundancies. While we understand and support the necessity of such measures, we believe that federal investments should continue to prioritize projects with sustained economic growth,” the letter states.
