Vice President JD Vance cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate, killing a bipartisan resolution to rebuke President Trump's trade policies. The resolution, which aimed to block Trump's global tariffs, failed 49-49 due to the absence of two senators. Senate Majority Leader John Thune prevented a future vote on the issue. Democrats criticized Republicans for supporting the tariffs, arguing they harm the economy. Even if passed by the Senate, the resolution lacked House support.
