The Senate passed a disapproval resolution overturning a Transportation Department rule requiring states to measure and set goals for reducing carbon emissions from cars and trucks on the road.

The measure, introduced by Sens. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Joe Manchin (D-WV), passed a 53 to 47 vote, sending the resolution to the House. Three Democrats and independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) joined Republicans to support overturning the rule.
