Trump's allies acknowledge significant legal wins in energy and environmental regulation

Former officials from the Trump administration are optimistic about the possibility of another Trump term, buoyed by recent favorable Supreme Court rulings that could reshape environmental regulations. The Court's decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine, potentially curtailing agency authority over regulations, has energized Trump allies. Conservatives see these rulings as opportunities to challenge climate policies under the Biden administration.

Former Trump officials believe a second term could further dismantle regulatory constraints. They view these legal developments as pivotal, potentially leading to reconsideration of numerous environmental decisions and rules. These changes might significantly alter the regulatory landscape, diminishing agency power and affecting climate change policies, which could have broad implications for environmental health and regulatory oversight.
