The Senate voted 53-43 Wednesday to overturn the Biden administration’s “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule, which expands what waters are subject to federal regulation under the Clean Water Act.
Earlier this month, the House voted 227-198 to overturn the rule, with nine Democrats joining Republicans. Critics of the Biden administration’s rule say its broad definition of “navigable waters” subjects landowners and farmers to burdensome regulations, expanding federal control over small streams and wetlands.
Four Democrats, Nevada Sen. Cortez Masto, Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, and Montana Sen. Jon Tester, voted with Republicans to overturn the rule. Independent Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema also voted with Republicans.
