Description:

President Donald Trump’s war on wind power is colliding with Iowa’s prominent wind industry and putting Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in a political bind. She’s long defended wind power as part of an “all-of-the-above” strategy, but her vote for Trump’s megabill is now a major liability as she faces one of the toughest reelection fights in the country. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down how Trump’s anti-wind agenda is threatening a vulnerable Iowa Republican. Plus, a federal appellate court on Tuesday sided with the Environmental Protection Agency in the pitched legal battle over Administrator Lee Zeldin’s termination of $20 billion in Biden-era climate grants.
