Serial fabulist Aaron Rupar posted this clip so he must have thought it was good for Democrats. As we reported, in his opening night slot at the Democratic National Convention, President Joe Biden bragged about building 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, but having allocated $7.5 billion, the government has managed to build only seven.

After Slotkin retreats from EV’s in a new ad this week, Harris told people in Michigan yesterday: “Contrary to what my opponent is suggesting, I will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive.”

Really? Never?

Some more context in this piece.

In 2019, Harris backed a plan requiring all automakers to only make EV’s and hydrogen cars by 2035. https://t.co/ogOwDdDD99

Alex Thompson and Ben Geman report:

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign won’t say whether she supports requiring automakers to build only electric or hydrogen vehicles by 2035 — a position she took during her 2020 campaign for president.

…

In a lengthy “fact-check” email last week that covered several issues, a campaign spokesperson included a line saying that Harris “does not support an electric vehicle mandate” — suggesting she changed her previous position, without elaborating.

On Aug. 28 Axios asked the Harris campaign to clarify her position, and whether she would sign or veto a bill she co-sponsored in 2019 that included such a mandate for manufacturers.

On Tuesday afternoon, Harris’ campaign ultimately declined to comment.
