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.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Rand(y) is a fraud, working for the Democrats. Probably on Soros’ payroll.
stop the bad language @ ME and read the rules
That is true. The Pubbies who voted for this are really jousting at windmills. They are the last vestiges of the old, totally corrupt, swamp.
They are so insulated from reality and so totally stupid they don't know this type of tantrum will make them laughing stocks in the future history books.
