Episode notes

Analyzing the potential impact of proposed changes in IRA subsidies and climate regulations under the Biden administration on rural America and international climate negotiations, with a humorous segue from a banned hot dog eating contestant to election odds.

That means that President Joe Biden’s ambitious climate achievements aren’t resonating with voters – especially young voters – the way his administration expected. The FT’s US climate reporter, Aime Williams, and Washington bureau chief, James Politi, join this week’s Swamp Notes podcast to explain why.
