The Blade noted the beginning of Bracewell’s PRG Pulse 2024 Post-Election Webinar where Scott Segal, co-chair of the firm’s Policy Resolution Group, wondered aloud how far Donald Trump might go on environmental-energy policies now that he’s returning to the White House with a Republican majority in the Senate and the possibility of a Republican-led House.
“Does that mean he’s more likely to run with the populist football?” Segal asked the speakers.
Bracewell’s Liam Donovan is also quoted from the webinar saying that Democrats recognized “the danger of putting climate front and center” in what was expected to be a nail-biter of an election.
“It put them on the defensive, whereas Republicans were able to play offense,” Donovan said. “It put them in a very uncomfortable position.”
