Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats are trying to convince voters that the Inflation Reduction Act has created a clean energy boom. And they may use her running mate, Tim Walz, and his clean energy efforts in Minnesota as an example of the law’s success. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel, Kelsey Tamborrino and Catherine Morehouse discuss how Minnesota benefited from the IRA and why Dems think it could help convince voters to vote blue. Plus, red states and coal interests are asking the Supreme Court to put a hold on EPA's update to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard.
