The White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought announced that the administration is moving to cancel $8 billion in funding for programs that he claims, “fuel the Left’s climate agenda.”
“Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left’s climate agenda is being cancelled,” Vought said in a post announcing the move.
Vought added that more details would come from the Department of Energy.
“The projects are in the following states: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA,” Vought added in the post.
The states that Vought listed all have at least one Democratic Senator voting against a clean continuing resolution to fund the government. The move comes after the administration paused funding for a New York infrastructure program that was championed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
