It sucks that it looks like turtle and another skipped the vote and it may have passed. More control by the turtle still? I think so. Still an old bastard that turtle.
Mitch McConnell and Sheldon Whitehouse who both supported the resolution were absent from the vote, meaning it likely would pass if reintroduced at a later date. To counter this, Senate Majority Leader John Thune rammed through a procedural motion to permanently table the resolution, which passed 50-49 with Vice President J.D. Vance entering the chamber to cast a tie-breaking vote.
"Leader Thune and Senate Republicans tonight voted to keep the Trump tariff-tax in place. They own the Trump tariffs and higher costs on America's middle-class families," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.
