Vice President JD Vance late Wednesday cast a tie-breaking vote to kill a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s tariffs in the Senate.

On a measure that would disapprove of Trump's national emergency regarding tariffs, the Senate splintered during a vote

The Senate has rejected an effort to undo President Trump’s sweeping tariffs on most U.S. trading partners. The vote was 49 to 49 after two senators who would have voted for the resolution did not show up for the vote.

President Donald Trump narrowly avoided a rebuke from the U.S. Senate on his tariffs due to one Democratic senator's absence. The resolution, defeated with a 49-49 tie on April 30, reflects discontent with Trump's 10% across-the-board tariffs and now-paused "retaliatory" tariffs that rattled Wall Street and contributed to a shrinking GDP as four Republicans joined with all present Democrats in supporting it.
