WASHINGTON—House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) joined President Donald J. Trump at the White House today as he announced a historic reset of Biden-era federal fuel standards—an action the administration says will lower car prices and save American families $109 billion.

“The reset of CAFE standards is a win for the people who actually build and buy America’s cars—not the bureaucrats who pushed Biden’s unaffordable mandates,” said Chairwoman McClain. “It lowers prices, restores choice, and delivers long-overdue relief for Michigan’s families and auto workers.” 

Chairwoman McClain attended the announcement alongside Lake Orion Plant Manager John Urbanic—whose facility is part of GM’s $4 billion investment to expand gas-powered vehicle production and create jobs in Michigan’s 9th District—as well as other Michigan auto executives.

President Trump’s announcement reverses the aggressive mandates imposed by the Biden administration, which experts projected would raise the price of a new car by nearly $1,000 and force consumers toward more expensive electric vehicles.
