Senate leader Mitch McConnell is scheduling a vote on the controversial ‘Green New Deal’, in a political move aimed at dividing Democrats.
The Green New Deal was introduced last month as a non-binding resolution aimed at combating climate change and has been a major talking point for progressive Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Critics in both parties have dismissed the deal as too expensive and unrealistic.
McConnell says the vote, being held without any debate or hearings, will put Senate Democrats ‘on the record’ as supporting or opposing the highly polarizing legislation.
