When the House Natural Resources Committee approved its portion of Republicans’ reconciliation package earlier this week, it also pushed through a controversial, last-minute amendment that could threaten party support for the sweeping measure. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and James Bikales break down the behind-the-scenes of what happened and why it could upend Republicans’ reconciliation efforts. Plus, a dozen House Republicans in an 11th hour request are calling for colleagues to spare key clean energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act from the chopping block.
