Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized that contrary to claims made by her opponent, Donald Trump, she will not dictate what type of car Americans must drive. At a rally in Flint, Michigan, she underscored her commitment to invest in communities, saying, "Michigan, let us be clear, I will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive. But here's what I will do: I will invest in communities like Flint." Her approach aims to address both the economic concerns of Michigan residents and the pressing need for ecological progress.
The political landscape surrounding electric vehicles in Michigan is complex, with the state being home to major automakers. Biden’s administration's ambitious emissions standards call for nearly half of new cars to be zero emissions by 2032, prompting Harris to clarify her stance on electric vehicles. She pointed out that her focus remains on supporting local communities while aligning with climate goals, pushing back against fears surrounding the transition from gasoline-powered cars and acknowledging the importance of sustainable development for manufacturing jobs.
