"Who Might Lead EPA for Trump 2.0?"

"POLITICO’s E&E News spoke to 10 former Trump administration officials and conservative allies about how Donald Trump could pick his next EPA leader."

"Former President Donald Trump may turn to one of his former appointees to shoulder a tough gig in his possible second term: running EPA.

If victorious in his White House bid, Trump will want an EPA administrator to pull back the vast swath of agency regulations crafted by the Biden administration as well as bring to heel its resistance-minded career staff. That job would have to be done in four years, all under intense media scrutiny and relentless congressional oversight.

Myron Ebell, who led Trump’s last EPA transition team, said the obstacles ahead for the former president if he returns to power will be much greater than those Trump faced in 2017."
