Since Biden’s decision, multiple manufacturing and union groups have expressed disappointment and frustration with the new loss of employment. The blow to jobs also arrives at a time when many Americans are already struggling, due to shutdowns imposed by overwhelmingly left-wing politicians.

Needless to say, the Americans who enjoyed jobs working on the construction for the Keystone XL pipeline are not happy.

Pushback from congressional Republicans

Biden’s executive actions thus far are already generating pushback from the GOP. Republicans from Western areas of America are submitting proposals that would require congressional approval for measures such as ending the Keystone pipeline and rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement.

GOP Sen. Steve Daines stated that the 46th president’s executive orders pose “a bad deal” for families across the nation. Republican lawmakers hence seek to increase the congressional ability to override or block certain executive orders passed by Biden. 

While pushback from Republicans is very much present, Democrats currently control both the House and the Senate. This poses a real challenge for Republicans; theoretically, in order for GOP members to successfully push back on the Biden administration, some moderate congressional Democrats would have to break party lines and vote with Republicans.
