WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats voted Wednesday to reverse a Trump-era Environmental Protection Agency rule that limits regulation of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas and a major contributor to climate change. Wednesday’s 52-42 vote marks Democrats’ first use of the Congressional Review Act to overturn a policy put in place by a Republican president. The House must still vote before it reaches President Joe Biden’s desk. The White House has said Biden supports overturning the Trump rule. That tightening methane regulations is the Democrat’s first use of the law shows how important it is, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a news conference Wednesday morning. “It’s really vital,” Schumer said.
