Biden faces pushback on environmental and student loan policies.

President Biden has vetoed a Republican-backed bill that would have rolled back a 2022 EPA rule setting stronger vehicle emissions standards to reduce air pollution. The final rule, adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency in December, sets new emission standards that are significantly more stringent and cover a wider range of heavy-duty engine operating conditions compared to today's standards. Republicans criticize the emissions rule as overly burdensome, arguing it will hurt the trucking industry and have negative ripple effects through the economy. Democrats say the rule is needed to limit pollution and improve air quality across the US.
