Vote passes 51-47 in latest bipartisan effort to challenge tariffs, but House is unlikely to take any similar action

The US Senate took a stand against Donald Trump’s global tariffs affecting more than 100 countries on Thursday, voting to nullify the so-called “reciprocal” tariffs.

Four Republicans joined with all Democrats to vote 51-47 on a resolution to end the base-level tariffs that the president put into place via executive order.

It was the third time the Republicans have voted alongside Democrats on a tariff resolution this week, previously rallying to end tariffs targeting Brazil and Canada.

    It seems like I have been seeing this headline all week, but the House plans to not vote the same way, so… /shrug emoji?
