Two vulnerable House Democrats are suggesting that their support for the
Manchin-Schumer social spending and taxation bill may be uncertain after
an energy fee that would fine fossil fuel companies for their methane
emissions was included in the Senate bill.

The fee, known as the Inflation Reduction Act Methane Emissions Charge,
has been a thorn in the side for some Democrats, specifically those
representing vulnerable districts in Texas with a heavy oil and gas
industry presence, and could end up being the deciding factor on whether
the bill ultimately passes or fails in the House.

The bill, officially called the Inflation Reduction Act, passed along
party lines in the Senate over the weekend could face doom if just a
handful of House Democrats join Republicans in voting against it.

Texas Democrats Rep. Henry Cuellar, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, and then-Rep.
Filemon Vela wrote a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last year
complaining the fee, which was included in the earlier version of the
House "Build Back Better" legislation, "unfairly targets oil and gas
companies" and that it would hurt the ability for the U.S. to be
competitive in the world energy market.

It's unclear if Gonzalez and Cuellar's opposition to the fee has worn off
after the scaled-back version of the bill passed the Senate with the fee
included, and both appear to be waiting to see how conversations
surrounding it shake out as the week progresses.

"My priority is ensuring this bill would not raise energy prices or hinder
American energy jobs at such a critical time," Gonzalez told The Texas
Tribune over the weekend. "These are the people and values I represent and
will continue to fight for."

He admitted, however, that there were "still come concerning provisions"
contained within it.

In a separate statement to Fox News Digital, Gonzalez expressed optimism
towards the bill, describing it as "much needed," and said it contained
provisions that would help certain constituents. He stopped short,
however, of saying he would support it in its current form.

"Democrats are continuing to deliver for the American people. I look
forward to working with my House colleagues as we return to Washington to
work on this much needed legislation," he said.

"There are provisions in this bill that will help our seniors and those on
fixed incomes like lowering prescription drug prices and capping insulin
for those on Medicare. I will be sure to fight for South Texans and make
sure no one is left behind," he added.

Fox News Digital also reached out to Cuellar for comment but did not hear
back by publishing time.

It should be in Jeopardy over the FBI searching TRUMPS house. It was an
obvious political attack by the opposing "DEMOCRATS" political party.

Which should kill anything/everything the Democrats want, until the
coming election is over.
