Senate Confirms Former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin as Trump's EPA Administrator in 56-42 Vote
Jan 29, 2025, 10:00 PM
The U.S. Senate has confirmed Lee Zeldin as the new Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) following a vote of 56-42. Zeldin, a former Republican congressman from New York, was nominated by President Donald Trump. His confirmation is expected to align with Trump's agenda to roll back major environmental regulations, particularly those established by the Biden administration aimed at reducing emissions from vehicles, power plants, and factories. Zeldin's leadership is anticipated to prioritize deregulation and support for American businesses, reflecting a shift towards less stringent environmental oversight. Several senators, including Democrats Mark Kelly, John Fetterman, and Ruben Gallego, voted in favor of his confirmation, indicating some bipartisan support for his nomination.
