Daines, Lummis put hold on Haaland, Biden's nominee for Interior Department, forcing debate

But the move by Daines, R-Mont., and Lummis, R-Wyo., shows the displeasure with the Biden administration's energy policies among Republicans from the West, who have been particularly irked by the president's decision to kill the Keystone XL Pipeline project.
