President Donald Trump's administration is now targeting billions of dollars in clean energy projects in predominantly Democratic-run states. "The projects are in the following states: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA." However, Politico reported Thursday that dozens of House Republicans who represent districts in those states were also counting on that money to provide jobs for their constituents. Sargent argued that Lawler's admission exposed how many vulnerable House Republicans in swing districts now have to work even harder to get reelected in next year's midterms. He further criticized California Republican members of Congress for "doing nothing to stop Trump’s dictatorial vengeance tour."
