The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has largely recovered from staff exits and budget cuts during the Trump administration, but faces unprecedented uncertainty with the upcoming election.
The E.P.A. has imposed strong climate regulations and banned toxic pesticides, yet with Trump potentially returning to power, a rollback of these policies looms.
Mandy Gunasekara, former chief of staff at the EPA, stated that the paring back of the agency during the Trump years was undone by the Biden administration's restoration efforts.
Vice President Kamala Harris, if elected, is expected to maintain aggressive climate policies while Trump's return would imply a calculated reversal of environmental regulations.
