A lead Biden administration leading climate regulations targeting gas-powered vehicles stepped down in an unexpected move after facing heavy Republican opposition.
"Ann has been a tremendous leader — her time as Acting Administrator of NHTSA was time limited under the Vacancies Reform Act," a DOT spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement. "She is returning to her previous role of senior advisor and Chief Counsel for one month to assist with the transition." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Under her leadership, NHTSA strengthened child seat standards, moved to require Automated Emergency Braking in light and heavy vehicles, oversaw major recalls, held registered importers and those who commit odometer fraud accountable for their bad acts, and after horrific increases in previous years, for six straight quarters roadway fatalities have declined," the statement continued.
