Four Republican senators voted with Democrats on Thursday to approve a bipartisan resolution to repeal President Trump’s global tariffs, including steeper rates on long-time allies such as the European Union, Japan and South Korea.
Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), the GOP sponsor of the resolution, and Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted for it.
The same proposal failed in the Senate in late April on a 50-49 vote after Vice President Vance cast the tiebreaking vote to defeat it.
Critically, McConnell and Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), who voted Thursday for the resolution, missed the vote in the spring.
The one-page Senate joint resolution simply declares that the national emergency declaration that Trump invoked on April 2, which the president dubbed “Liberation Day,” to authorize sweeping reciprocal tariffs on countries cross the globe would be “terminated” on the date of its enactment.
Passage of the measure is a symbolic victory for critics of Trump’s trade policies, but it will have little practical effect as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is unlikely to bring it up for a vote in the House and Trump is certain to veto anything that curtails his power.
Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), the lead Democratic sponsor of the resolution, said Trump’s tariffs have increased costs for ordinary Americans.

FUSenate. Weasels, the lot.
You want to fix Social Security? Apply all tariffs to social security funding.
Just the same anti-Trump pubie senators, like your treacherous idol Rand.
F’em.......I’m sure there’s SOMETHING the POTUS can do to get their FULL attention...
Exactly what I've been saying on here.
Its a totally meaningless gesture with zero effect on anything.
Pure virtue signaling.
-The U.S. Senate are rebuking Trump’s tariffs. Not a great sign...-
Did you read the article that you posted?
Like the following part-
“ it will have little practical effect as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is unlikely to bring it up for a vote in the House and Trump is certain to veto anything that curtails his power.”
Just a resolution - a “suggestion”.
They must be bored and have nothing else to do.
Without reading the article...lemme guess. Collins, Murkowski, McConnell And Paul.
Why did Thune even allow a vote on this?
Yep. The Senate has freaks, and the closet Dems you see here that met secretly with Obama and Biden to sabotage Conservatives in past administrations.
The Senate is full of cloistered, detached, self-medicating Fatcats.
“Collins, Murkowski, McConnell And Paul.”
They do each other’s hair, while McConnell flails on the floor trying to right himself.
Another delivery from the Capitol Hill Liquor store.
It means NOTHING ! Will not see the House for a vote and certainly will never reach the PRESIDENTS DESK FOR A SIGNATURE>>>Paul/McConnell/Collins 3 of the four rino’s who voted for it by the way!
I’ve pretty much have had enough of Kentucky politicians.
Senate RINOs are rebuking anything that’s MAGA. 🙄
Oh please, the rats and the the worst of the rino traitors.
FU and your traitor buddy Rand. This will go nowhere and you know it. Judas scum such as yourself need to be removed from FR.
Four Republicans who need to GO! Well, 3 since Mitch the bitch is already GONE.
