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.
