Senate Dems ask SEC to press pause on Wall Street rules

Senate Democrats have privately urged SEC chairman Gary Gensler to consider additional feedback on a variety of regulations that are making Wall Street nervous. That includes the commission’s climate risk rule, which would require companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and be held accountable for their climate promises. POLITICO’s Declan Harty breaks down why moderate Democrats are pushing the commission to slow down and what might happen next with the climate risk disclosure rule. Plus, General Motors CEO Mary Barra said the company’s electric vehicles will qualify for full federal tax credits within three years.   Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Declan Harty is a reporter for POLITICO.  Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.  Raghu Manavalan is a senior editor for POLITICO audio.
