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.

nobody is asking you, personally, to fix it. but your wholehearted embracing of the suffering of others (i mean, at least you will be fine!) to “educate” is a bitter pill for people who are already struggling, and for people who rightly fear they won’t survive as readily as you will.
Sheldon Whitehouse (D) could have stopped Trump’s tariffs simply by showing up and doing his job, but he didn’t. That’s the whole point of this story.
House would not have passed it and certainly not have enough votes to overcome a Trump veto.
