.POTUS has found himself stuck in the middle of the Democratic Party on environmental issues despite running on a sweeping green agenda, a tension that remains unresolved as he prepares to seek a second term.
Biden has attempted to govern with narrow Democratic majorities that have given outsized influence to a fossil fuel state centrist, Sen. Joe Manchin , while facing a slew of domestic and international conditions — the war in Ukraine, last year’s spike in gasoline prices, inflation, OPEC+ production cuts — that have forced him to go slower than he would prefer in pursuing his green agenda.
Although Democrats slightly expanded their Senate majority to 51-49 from a deadlocked chamber that required Vice President Kamala Harris to break ties, Biden has lost on all these resolutions because of Democratic defections. Yet Biden has also done no shortage of things that have outraged the environmental Left too. When the administration moved forward with an oil lease auction, the White House was excoriated for breaking its climate change promises."Today I woke up enraged, but not surprised, that Biden would choose to cater to fossil fuel corporations over our futures," Varshini Prakash, executive director of the environmentalist Sunrise Movement, said in 2021.
