President Donald Trump is expected to sign a set of resolutions this week to reverse California’s 2035 ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars, a Republican co-sponsor said Tuesday. “On Thursday, President Trump will sign my Resolution to reverse California’s absurd ban on gas-powered cars,” California GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley said in a Tuesday post on X. Several Biden-era waivers allowed California to set its own vehicle emissions, and a reversal would be another blow to the state’s effort to regulate pollution from cars and trucks. California has had authority to set its own emissions for decades; Trump reversed it in his first term before the Biden administration reinstated it. The move could also have broad environmental impacts for the rest of the country, as more than a dozen states are following California’s emissions rules. The Republican-led Senate overturned the three Biden-era emissions waivers in May, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom claiming last month the vote was illegal. To do so, Republicans bypassed the 60-vote threshold typically needed to approve such a measure. Democrats charged that move would weaken the long-established legislative filibuster, besides its environmental impact. CNN has reached out to California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office and the White House for comment.
