Bill to to revoke Trump's "emergency order" to bypass congress in proclaiming tariffs failed because two senators were absent.
Vice President JD Vance late Wednesday cast a tie-breaking vote to kill a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s tariffs in the Senate.
Vice President JD Vance traveled to Capitol Hill late Wednesday to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate that killed a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s trade policy.
Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked Trump’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order the president is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49.

Wow, like usual just a vote or two away…
I’m starting to think it’s not an accident.
This is what happens when people vote blue no matter who.
You remind me of those "capitalism is socialism" memes. "this happens when we vote blue!", points at a situation where everyone explicitly didn't vote blue.
Still better than giving the MAGAts larger margins. We need to get better at primaries though.
Because it isn't.
That's obviously because deep state shadow government reptiles. Afterall, all maga believes that, and there is so many of them, they can't all be mistaken.
