Vice President Kamala Harris is visiting Michigan today to announce further spending by the Biden administration on electric vehicles. Congressman John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP, criticized this move, stating, “President Biden and Vice President Harris claim to be looking out for American workers, but just three days ago they signed off on new rules that will let Chinese automakers qualify for tax incentives paid for by the very same American workers. It is hypocritical and the Biden administration should ban Chinese companies from qualifying for tax credits.”

The Treasury Department recently announced a new rule allowing CCP automakers to qualify for President Biden's EV tax credits. The administration has set an ambitious goal: two-thirds of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. should be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2032. However, a recent report indicates that EV sales have slowed significantly, representing only seven percent of cars purchased in the first quarter of 2024.
