“Progressive Caucus member\u00a0@JaredHuffman<\/a>\u00a0told me calling on Biden to declare a climate emergency is one of the \u2018centerpiece\u2019 actions to headline their EO plan,” Politico reporter Joshua Siegel tweeted Tuesday. “A draft of the plan I saw also calls for Biden to ban oil\/gas drilling on public lands and end fossil fuel subsidies.”<\/p>\n
