The next day, McClellan turned her attention to environmental issues. She criticized federal policies impacting renewable energy: “Affordable solar and clean energy are under attack by the Trump Administration, killing jobs and increasing energy bills in the process. Join me tomorrow at 12 PM for a press conference with Climate Action Virginia, VALCV, @TeamFreedomVA and @Ibew666 to demand affordable solar”. This message was posted on August 20, 2025.
