Democrats Run Away From ‘Green New Deal’ After Peddling Radical Plan For Years

Democrats are dropping the “Green New Deal” mantra despite their unbridled support for the far-left legislation just a few years ago, according to Axios.

Congressional Democrats have combined to mention the “Green New Deal” only six times in the past three months, the fewest mentions since the term became popular in fall 2018, Axios reported, citing data from the tracking software Quorum. While many Democrats at the state level continue to pursue strict climate goals as President Donald Trump fulfills a key campaign promise by bulldozing Biden-era green ⚡Energy initiatives, the data reported by Axios indicates that Democrats are now shrinking away from a multi-trillion-dollar policy they once widely championed.

“When we first introduced the Green New Deal, we were told that our vision for the future was too aspirational. Four years later, we see core tenets of the Green New Deal reflected in the Inflation Reduction Act — the largest ever federal investment in fighting climate change, with a focus on creating good, green jobs,” Democratic New York Rep.
