Two Senators are stepping up to the plate on climate change in a major way. Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, and Sen.

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.”
