Description
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are squaring off
tonight in their first debate of the 2024 election cycle, and we expect
some sparring over energy policy. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre and Josh
Siegel discuss what Trump might say and fact-check some of his most
common energy claims. Plus, the Energy Department’s deputy secretary is
defending the pace at which the agency is getting federal funding out
the door under the bipartisan infrastructure law and Inflation Reduction
Act.
