Summary

Voters are feeling the pinch of Donald Trump's anti-climate agenda as energy costs rise, according to The Guardian. If polls are right, Democrats could win back the House and Senate and gain up to four governor's seats, which would give them new power to resist Trump's agenda and push climate policies at the state level. The article says that if Republicans keep power, Trump's "drill baby drill" agenda could be further emboldened, and his administration could keep dismantling regulations that critics say protect public health and the planet.
