Bipartisan Climate Working Group Forms In Senate
Two Senators are stepping up to the plate on climate change in a major way. Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, and Sen. Mike Braun, a Republican from Indiana, are creating a bipartisan climate caucus in the Senate. The news broke Thursday with this story from Abby Smith in the Washington Examiner. Smith writes that this “bipartisan duo are organizing the new caucus, which is still in the planning stages and will be formally unveiled in the coming weeks.”
Sen. Braun told the Washington Examiner that climate change should be a “bridge issue.” He also said he is hopeful several of his Republican colleagues will join the caucus with him.
Sen. Coons agreed, saying, “Combating climate change will require all of us—Democrats and Republicans—to come together around bipartisan solutions.”
