Chairwoman McClain Joins President Trump for Announcement to Lower Car Costs for American Families

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.
