Trump Admin Admits Political Criteria Behind Clean-Energy Grant Cancellations
In a federal court filing, the Energy Department said it recommended canceling more than 600 clean-energy grants in states that voted for Kamala Harris, with 284 grants terminated in October 2025. Democrats decry the move as partisan retaliation by the Trump administration, arguing grants were targeted based on political identity; the filing describes the cuts as part of a broader effort to punish opponents, while supporters frame it as a policy-driven action.
