State Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward argues the Biden administration is partially to blame for the loss of the project, which she says will cost dozens of jobs.
Pennsylvania State Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward argued on Fox & Friends on Thursday that Scranton native Joe Biden and his administration are partially responsible for the cancelation of a $1.5 billion steel project, which would cost at least 1,000 blue collar jobs because of their focus on only green energy.
Late last month, Pittsburgh-based United States Steel Corp. said that it is canceling the project to bring a state-of-the-art improvement to its Mon Valley Works operations in western Pennsylvania, citing the fact that the landscape has changed in the two years since the company announced its intentions.

Hundreds of elected and appointed Republicans around the country are backing President Donald Trump’s false claims he won the 2020 presidential election, a widespread embrace that is likely to empower Trump’s grip over the GOP even after he leaves office and turn belief in Trump’s falsehoods into a litmus test for a significant segment of Republican voters.
The Republicans embracing Trump’s cause, and the nonsensical conspiracy theories used to justify it, come from every level of government. They include prominent senators like Texas’ Ted Cruz, ambitious attorneys general, well-known conservative bombthrowers and little-known state legislators. They are egged on by a vocal portion of GOP voters who refuse to accept President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, and are unlikely to change their minds anytime soon.
