Democrats look to undercut Trump in Madrid

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other congressional Democrats are in Madrid for U.N. climate talks this week, lending a high-profile voice to U.S. supporters of the Paris climate agreement as the 2020 elections heat up.

Democrats said their presence would demonstrate continued commitment to tackling climate change in the U.S. government, even as President Trump pulls out of the Paris Agreement.

The other Democratic lawmakers heading to Madrid are Reps. Betty McCollum of Minnesota; Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon; Julia Brownley, Jared Huffman, Mike Levin and Scott Peters of California; Debbie Dingell of Michigan; Sean Casten of Illinois; and Joe Neguse of Colorado.
