From CBS News: The Senate voted Thursday to approve a resolution that would block President Trump’s tariffs on countries around the world, the third in a trio of rebukes of the president’s trade policy this week.
In a 51 to 47 vote, four Republicans joined Democrats to approve the resolution. Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul of Kentucky, along with Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, supported the resolution. It was not subject to the 60-vote threshold needed for most legislation, requiring just a simple majority.
The resolution almost certainly won’t be taken up by the Republican-controlled House, making it largely symbolic. Democrats forced a vote on the resolution, which was led by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, by bypassing Senate GOP leadership using a provision of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the law that the president invoked to impose the tariffs.
Wyden cheered, “More big news: the Senate just PASSED my bipartisan resolution to END Trump’s global tariffs. This is a huge win and shows how unpopular Trump’s tariffs really are. Now it’s time for Mike Johnson to abandon his 6 week vacation and get this passed in the House.”
