Is a way Trump is recognizing the will of the majority of regular people who oppose the GND. Mike, the Green New Deal has always been popular and a majority of the people supported it in 2021 and in still did in 2024. Stop telling falsehoods.
https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/2/6/five...SNIP In more recent congressional sessions, lawmakers have introduced a suite of new Green New Deal bills, covering issues ranging from schools to housing. These Green New Deal bills all enjoy strong majority support among American voters. After reading descriptions of the following proposals, a majority of voters support the Green New Deal agenda (65%), the Green New Deal for Public Housing (67%), the Green New Deal for Public Schools (68%), the Green New Deal for Cities (63%), and the Green New Deal for Health (68%). The results align closely with national support for these Green New Deal bills found in previous Data for Progress polling conducted in 2021 and 2022. SNIP

Declines in public support for renewable energy have been driven by Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, whose support started to fall sharply after President Joe Biden took office in early 2021.
64% of Republicans (2024) say they favor more solar panel farms, down from 84% in 2020.
56% of Republicans (2024) say they favor more wind turbine farms, a 19-point drop from 2020. (Though it's declined the Republicans have always supported it.)Over this same time period, views among Democrats and Democratic leaners on these measures are little changed, with large majorities continuing to support more wind and solar development.
In some cases, gaps between Republicans and Democrats over energy policy now approach the very wide partisan divides seen over the importance of climate change. SNIP
