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.
Right. Both I and my fiancee voted against Trump. These tariffs are already making our financial situation untenable, and we were one missed paycheck from flat broke before Trump. Do we deserve to suffer too? Do our community, who also opposed Trump? Do we need to be “educated” about the economic hurt we knew was coming, or the tariffs we knew were a stupid fucking idea? You sound hateful in the same way as the MAGA supporters are. Let those I’m better than burn because I can take it.
