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.

Ok gramps let's get you back to the home. Sounds like you need a lie down after a busy day.

It's always, always, always all of the republicans causing shit. Usually a few democrats join them, but it's negligible and proves that "but both sides" is a load of BS.

both sides are corporate neolibs, just one is extra fash.

they are both bad, but the republicans are by far way, way worse.
