President Biden traveled on Monday to donor-rich California, where he unveiled billions in new federal spending to help coastal communities across the country combat climate change and rising sea levels.
The president’s trip to Palo Alto, located just outside San Francisco, came as the incumbent Democrat tries to swoon wealthy climate and tech donors in the Golden State for his 2024 reelection campaign.
The money is part of the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law and Democrats’ tax-and-climate spending package known as the Inflation Reduction Act. But as 2024 approaches, there’s growing evidence that moderate Democrats on Capitol Hill facing tough reelections don’t agree. Mr. Biden’s green agenda has suffered scores of Democratic defectors during congressional votes in recent months, according to a new Washington Times analysis.
Mr. Golden has cast at least 11 votes, including those to override Mr. Biden’s vetoes, against the president’s green energy regulations. Mr. Manchin has voted eight times against Mr. Biden’s policies.
