WASHINGTON, April 24 (UPI) -- Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Saturday he will not push for a climate bill if the Obama administration insists on an immigration vote first.
Aides to Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Sen. Joe Lieberman, Ind-Conn., said they plan to introduce their bill Monday regardless of whether Graham remains part of their group, which has been developing a bipartisan approach to a climate bill, The Washington Post reported. Graham's departure could undercut the bill's chance of passage.
