Stated on March 4, 2025 in an address to a joint session of Congress:
The Trump administration identified $1.9 billion in federal dollars going to a “decarbonization of homes” group Stacey Abrams “headed up.”
Trump said his administration identified $1.9 billion going to a "decarbonization of homes" group that Abrams "headed up."
This is inaccurate. From March 2023 through the end of 2024, Abrams was senior counsel for Rewiring America, one of five groups in the Power Forward Communities coalition.
Power Forward Communities was awarded a $2 billion EPA grant, but Abrams did not "head up" that group and there’s no evidence she directly received any of the grant money. The coalition’s CEO said Abrams was not paid by Power Forward Communities and did not receive any of the federal funds.
False.
