President Joe Biden is launching his sweeping assault on climate change with a much larger army of allies than Barack Obama had 12 years ago a coalition that ranges from labor unions, anti-fracking activists and racial justice advocates to leaders of Wall Street, the auto industry and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
But Biden also faces a challenge: holding together this teeming coalition, with its many competing agendas, long enough to break the logjam in Congress that doomed Obama’s efforts to force his policy changes through Congress.
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
