The Trump administration has admitted in court filings that it canceled $7.6 billion in clean energy grants based on the political leanings of the states where the projects were located. These states had predominantly voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. This admission contradicts previous official statements that the cancellations were due to the projects not advancing national energy needs or being economically unviable. Democrats and environmental groups have criticized this action as a political weaponization of federal funds, impacting jobs and families. AI
