A bipartisan measure that sought to undo the sweeping tariffs that President Donald Trump imposed on most countries earlier this month failed in the GOP-led Senate. The vote ended in a tie, 49-49, with three Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — joining all Democrats present in support of the resolution. Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who voiced support for the measure, were absent for the vote. It needed a simple majority to pass. |
