His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

So to get any congressional district delegates, a candidate will have to post at least 15% support in that district; or, to be eligible for statewide delegates, they will have to receive 15% of the statewide vote total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means that delegate totals will take awhile to sort out — and that could blunt California’s impact on the larger Democratic primary, by robbing anyone outside the top one or two candidates of momentum before the next primary contests on March 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11805091\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11805091\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/M6A7398-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Bloomberg's empty campaign headquarters office in Downtown Oakland on the night of Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/M6A7398-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/M6A7398-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/M6A7398-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/M6A7398-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike Bloomberg’s empty campaign headquarters office in Downtown Oakland on the night of Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>California traditionally has held its primary in June — making the delegate-rich state among the last to weigh in, and diluting its power to help decide the nominee. So in 2017, former Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11619488/gov-brown-signs-bill-moving-california-primary-to-march\">signed a bill moving up the primary to Super Tuesday\u003c/a> — a change supporters hoped would not only make California more relevant in the nomination process, but also give voters here more of a chance to interact with candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In large part, it worked. While candidates have historically used California as a virtual ATM, courting donors then flying to smaller states for events, this year voters around the state have seen more rallies and other campaigning in their backyards.

"content": "\u003cp>Joe Biden ended a triumphant Super Tuesday with a narrow victory over Bernie Sanders in Texas, the giant red state where Democrats are seeking a rare return to power in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former vice president’s victory over the Vermont senator capped a resounding and resurgent string of victories across the South for Biden, who won at least nine states but none bigger or more symbolic than Texas. Just 24 hours earlier in Dallas, Biden mounted a display of force by the Democratic Party’s moderate wing — revealing endorsements by former rivals Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Beto O’Rourke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The primary put Texas’ fast-changing politics to the test and delivered some surprises. For Republicans, that included a rare loss for the Bush brand in the Lone Star State after Pierce Bush, a grandson of former President George H.W. Bush, failed to even make a runoff in a bid for Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"election-2020\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for Texas Democrats, it meant seeing how far left voters would go before November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Things are looking awful good,” Biden told supporters in Los Angeles before the race in Texas was called in his favor. “For those who have been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last-minute gambit may have helped overtake Sanders, who had built a firm foothold in Texas just four years after badly losing the state to Hillary Clinton. Sanders was banking on young and Latino voters in booming Texas to accelerate his path to the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His rise emboldened an unusual crop of liberal challengers in Texas — and like Sanders, they were also coming running close into Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Texas’ Senate race, Democrat MJ Hegar awaited an opponent after advancing to a May runoff. Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez, who was endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive New York firebrand, was fighting to make the cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winner of the Democratic Senate runoff will try to unseat Republican incumbent John Cornyn, who is seen as a heavy favorite in a state where a Democrat hasn’t won a Senate seat since the 1970s. The Senate race hasn’t mustered the same energy or attention as O’Rourke’s barnstorming run in 2018 against GOP Sen. Ted Cruz that became a launchpad the former congressman’s short-lived White House run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a combat veteran, I am concerned about the values of this country that are under attack,” Hegar told supporters in Austin. “And as a working mom, I’m concerned about the future if we keep it in the hands of people like Sen. John Cornyn.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on the Texas border, Jessica Cisneros, 26, wasn’t yet out in her bid to become the youngest member of Congress in a challenge against Rep. Henry Cuellar, a rare Texas Democrat who has received support from the National Rifle Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are making fast gains in the nation’s biggest GOP stronghold and have a shot in November at taking control of the Texas House for the first time in 20 years. Reclaiming such power would swiftly change the landscape of one of the GOP’s most crucial states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an outcome that some conservative voters had on their minds as they went to the polls in Texas. Shelby Schnefke, a stay-at-home mother of two, said after casting her ballot in Dallas that the GOP needs to stay on guard against Democrats making further inroads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like recently it’s been proven that it could happen,” Schnefke said. “I think that’s why it’s more motivating now than ever for Republicans to come out and vote because I think a lot of times in Texas you’re like, ‘Oh, we’re safe.’ But we definitely aren’t safe.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city, elections officials rushed to send additional voting machines to polling places where voters reported long lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the hotly contested presidential race topping the ballot, long lines at polling sites encouraged Democrats who are counting on record-shattering turnout across the state this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coronavirus fears resulted in a number of poll workers and elections judges not showing up for work in Austin, where there have been no confirmed cases. And in San Antonio, technical stumbles caused delays at some polling sites and reporting results in key races Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Houston, Rebecca Taylor tried voting in one of the city’s historically black neighborhoods where voters waited up to an hour. So she planned to go elsewhere to cast a ballot for Biden after also considering billionaire Mike Bloomberg, who made Houston a centerpiece of his half-billion dollar gambit to win the nomination despite skipping the first four states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said she thought Sanders would scorch other Democrats on the Texas ballot in November if he’s the presidential nominee, and she expressed skepticism about whether he could deliver on his promises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just don’t believe he can get in there and do what he says he’s going to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Juan A. Lozano in Houston and Jake Bleiberg and Jamie Stengle in Dallas contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Just 24 hours earlier in Dallas, Biden mounted a display of force by the Democratic Party’s moderate wing — revealing endorsements by former rivals Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Beto O’Rourke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The primary put Texas’ fast-changing politics to the test and delivered some surprises. For Republicans, that included a rare loss for the Bush brand in the Lone Star State after Pierce Bush, a grandson of former President George H.W. Bush, failed to even make a runoff in a bid for Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sanders was banking on young and Latino voters in booming Texas to accelerate his path to the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His rise emboldened an unusual crop of liberal challengers in Texas — and like Sanders, they were also coming running close into Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Texas’ Senate race, Democrat MJ Hegar awaited an opponent after advancing to a May runoff. Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez, who was endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive New York firebrand, was fighting to make the cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winner of the Democratic Senate runoff will try to unseat Republican incumbent John Cornyn, who is seen as a heavy favorite in a state where a Democrat hasn’t won a Senate seat since the 1970s. The Senate race hasn’t mustered the same energy or attention as O’Rourke’s barnstorming run in 2018 against GOP Sen. Ted Cruz that became a launchpad the former congressman’s short-lived White House run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

John Cornyn.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on the Texas border, Jessica Cisneros, 26, wasn’t yet out in her bid to become the youngest member of Congress in a challenge against Rep. Henry Cuellar, a rare Texas Democrat who has received support from the National Rifle Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are making fast gains in the nation’s biggest GOP stronghold and have a shot in November at taking control of the Texas House for the first time in 20 years. Reclaiming such power would swiftly change the landscape of one of the GOP’s most crucial states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an outcome that some conservative voters had on their minds as they went to the polls in Texas. Shelby Schnefke, a stay-at-home mother of two, said after casting her ballot in Dallas that the GOP needs to stay on guard against Democrats making further inroads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like recently it’s been proven that it could happen,” Schnefke said. “I think that’s why it’s more motivating now than ever for Republicans to come out and vote because I think a lot of times in Texas you’re like, ‘Oh, we’re safe.’ But we definitely aren’t safe.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city, elections officials rushed to send additional voting machines to polling places where voters reported long lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the hotly contested presidential race topping the ballot, long lines at polling sites encouraged Democrats who are counting on record-shattering turnout across the state this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coronavirus fears resulted in a number of poll workers and elections judges not showing up for work in Austin, where there have been no confirmed cases. And in San Antonio, technical stumbles caused delays at some polling sites and reporting results in key races Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Houston, Rebecca Taylor tried voting in one of the city’s historically black neighborhoods where voters waited up to an hour. So she planned to go elsewhere to cast a ballot for Biden after also considering billionaire Mike Bloomberg, who made Houston a centerpiece of his half-billion dollar gambit to win the nomination despite skipping the first four states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said she thought Sanders would scorch other Democrats on the Texas ballot in November if he’s the presidential nominee, and she expressed skepticism about whether he could deliver on his promises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just don’t believe he can get in there and do what he says he’s going to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Juan A.

It went further than many of his previous positions, and embraced the Green New Deal as a “crucial framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• Biden foresees $1.7 trillion in spending over the next 10 years, and $3.3 trillion in investments by the private sector and state and local governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• He wants Congress to pass emissions limits with “an enforcement mechanism … based on the principles that polluters must bear the full cost of the carbon pollution they are emitting.” He said it would include “clear, legally binding emissions reductions,” but did not give details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• In July, Biden \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19072019/agriculture-climate-solution-election-2020-biden-warren-sanders-soil-carbon-conservation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19072019/agriculture-climate-solution-election-2020-biden-warren-sanders-soil-carbon-conservation&source=gmail&ust=1563633898696000&usg=AFQjCNFC7_0Yl5FQOhlCvC0F7TZdLUMfrQ\">released a policy agenda\u003c/a> that aims to boost the rural economy, in part by expanding a program that will pay farmers to use farming techniques that store carbon in the soil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• His plan also calls for support for economically impacted communities.

"content": "\u003cp>With early voting underway in California, the Democratic candidates for president are facing a Golden State electorate more concerned than ever before with how the next commander in chief will confront the globe’s changing climate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Biden’s climate spending plan pales in comparison to the ambitious proposals of his Democratic rivals. But the former vice president can make a unique pitch: He is the only candidate who has already guided a nationwide clean energy initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden is betting that the billions of dollars in clean energy funds that went to California in the Obama administration’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will help him make his case to voters — and provide him with a boost in the March 3 primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The attitude of Californians in terms of the intensity of their feeling for all of what we were doing through the Recovery Act in California was a heck of a lot less intense than it is today,” Biden said in an interview with KQED. “Here we are now eight, nine, 10 years later and I’m not being critical of anybody in California — you’ve been ahead of everybody — but everybody sort of had an epiphany here. Everybody understands this is really worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, with the country reeling from the Great Recession, President Barack Obama tasked Biden with overseeing the administration’s $787 billion stimulus package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included in the bill was a $90 billion investment in clean energy, the largest in U.S. history. The biggest renewable energy windfall went to California: $11.8 billion by the end of Obama’s first term — triple the amount awarded to any other state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Recovery Act experience showed that Biden can pursue a green initiative that balances large-scale government investment with private sector innovation, said Joseph Aldy, professor of the practice of public policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s this kind of experience that for Vice President Biden, helps him form a very pragmatic approach,” said Aldy, who served in the Obama administration as special assistant to the president for energy and environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a presidential primary marked by competition over ambitious progressive agendas, there’s a political risk in asking voters to turn their attention back a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s leading opponents in California are running on their climate plans, not records. Bernie Sanders’ (the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11798764/bernie-sanders-pulls-away-from-pack-in-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">current leader\u003c/a> in state primary polling) is calling for a “Green New Deal” with nearly 10 times the spending Biden’s plan envisions, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m concerned about whether or not climate change will be at the top of the agenda for a Biden administration,” said Leah Stokes, assistant professor of political science at UC Santa Barbara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And unlike Biden, candidates including Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg are calling for a nationwide ban on new hydraulic fracking — a method of extracting oil by using water and chemicals to crack open geological formations. That position is likely to win over environmental activists in California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom recently placed a moratorium on new fracking permits, in part over concerns about methane leakage from the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To win over California climate voters, Biden will have to persuade them to take a second look at Obama-era investments that largely flew under the radar, re-examine some high-profile failures and embrace lessons from the Recovery Act as a stepping stone to future climate action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11800190\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11800190\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden look at solar panels as they tour the solar array at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado, February 17, 2009.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden look at solar panels as they tour the solar array at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado, on Feb. 17, 2009. \u003ccite>(Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Voter Focus on Climate Change\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time Biden ran for president, in 2008, climate change barely registered as a priority for California primary voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/survey/S_1207MBS.pdf\">December 2007 survey\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California, just 3% of primary voters picked “environment” as the issue they wanted to hear about most from presidential candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve years later, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1932445/un-report-issues-life-or-death-warning-for-planetary-survival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dire warnings\u003c/a> about the impending damage that could come with a warmer planet, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1944993/study-climate-change-a-leading-driver-of-californias-wildfires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more intense wildfires\u003c/a> wreaking havoc at both ends of the state, voter priorities among Democrats in California have drastically shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, primary voters name climate change as their highest priority for the next president, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/12/09/warren-biden-slip-in-california-primary-race-says-new-berkeley-igs-poll/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December poll\u003c/a> from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The perception of what is needed, that’s changed drastically, thank God,” Biden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden is betting that the Recovery Act, remembered by most as a Keynesian response to revive the economy during the Great Recession, will gain new bona fides as a major climate initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A ‘Major Down Payment’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last decade, California became home to the world’s bestselling electric car and largest solar-thermal power plant.

Studies \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032114008855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have found\u003c/a> that emissions dropped more than expected in the years after the stimulus, but largely attribute that to a slowed economy and a nationwide shift from coal to natural gas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s face it, in 2010, it was economic recovery we were focused on. Now, we have to focus on climate change,” said Weisenmiller, the former California energy commissioner. “We need more on the level of a World War II-type of effort to really move the needle on climate — American Recovery and Reinvestment Act times ten or something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Election 2020\" tag=\"election2020\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s leading opponents in California have made climate proposals that more closely mirror that wartime scope, led by Sanders’ promise of a $16.3 trillion investment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden has pledged $1.7 trillion in spending and wants Congress to pass emissions limits that would drive further private-sector capital toward clean energy. And he says his foreign policy experience makes him well-equipped to bring other nations along in a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Recovery Act was signed, the concept of climate justice was in its nascent stages. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364032114008855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2015 study from the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics\u003c/a> at Lund University found that “there is no data that can be used to determine which demographic groups gained most as a result of the Renewable Energy stimulus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, the climate plans of the leading Democrats in 2020 all come with a nod to climate justice and promise that economic mobilization in the face of a climate crisis will also address racial and socioeconomic disparities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one thing to say, ‘How do we get photovoltaics commercialized?’ ” Weisenmiller said. “It’s another thing to say, ‘How do you make sure that everyone participates in some fashion? How do you make sure that you’re really reaching out to our disadvantaged communities?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘There’s Going to Be Mistakes Made’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about his climate plan, Biden pledged to seize the “opportunity” of climate change to reshape the country’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re the only country in the world that’s ever turned great problems into great opportunities,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make that happen, Biden sounded ready to embrace lessons from the Recovery Act’s clean energy investment: political patience and an embrace of risk-taking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of the experimentation that’s going to take place to get us to net zero emissions, there’s going to be mistakes made,” Biden said. “But that can’t turn us back from the commitment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If climate-focused research and development goes off without a hitch, it likely isn’t moving the needle enough, said Weisenmiller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to really expect some failures to occur,” Weisenmiller added. “But if you do enough things, and you have enough successes, you’re going to push things forward.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Elizabeth Warren and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg are calling for a nationwide ban on new hydraulic fracking — a method of extracting oil by using water and chemicals to crack open geological formations. That position is likely to win over environmental activists in California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom recently placed a moratorium on new fracking permits, in part over concerns about methane leakage from the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To win over California climate voters, Biden will have to persuade them to take a second look at Obama-era investments that largely flew under the radar, re-examine some high-profile failures and embrace lessons from the Recovery Act as a stepping stone to future climate action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11800190\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11800190\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden look at solar panels as they tour the solar array at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado, February 17, 2009.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41120_Biden-Solar-2-large-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden look at solar panels as they tour the solar array at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado, on Feb. 17, 2009. \u003ccite>(Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Voter Focus on Climate Change\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time Biden ran for president, in 2008, climate change barely registered as a priority for California primary voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/survey/S_1207MBS.pdf\">December 2007 survey\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California, just 3% of primary voters picked “environment” as the issue they wanted to hear about most from presidential candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve years later, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1932445/un-report-issues-life-or-death-warning-for-planetary-survival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dire warnings\u003c/a> about the impending damage that could come with a warmer planet, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1944993/study-climate-change-a-leading-driver-of-californias-wildfires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more intense wildfires\u003c/a> wreaking havoc at both ends of the state, voter priorities among Democrats in California have drastically shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, primary voters name climate change as their highest priority for the next president, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://news.berkeley.edu/2019/12/09/warren-biden-slip-in-california-primary-race-says-new-berkeley-igs-poll/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December poll\u003c/a> from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The perception of what is needed, that’s changed drastically, thank God,” Biden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden is betting that the Recovery Act, remembered by most as a Keynesian response to revive the economy during the Great Recession, will gain new bona fides as a major climate initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A ‘Major Down Payment’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last decade, California became home to the world’s bestselling electric car and largest solar-thermal power plant.

Republicans on the committee unsuccessfully tried multiple times to introduce amendments to the articles during the marathon markup session. Democrats claim that President Trump abused his office for political gain when he tried to pressure Ukraine into opening an investigation into his political rival, Joe Biden, and that he obstructed Congress by defying numerous subpoenas for documents and testimony as part of their impeachment probe.
