Unfortunately the vote is only symbolic and has zero chance of becoming law. Our only hope of getting the tariffs completely lifted lies with the Supreme Court, which will surely side with Trump since they're completely corrupt at this point.

Best we can hope for is for the two sides to get back to the bargaining table at some point to hopefully get some kind of deal sorted out to at least get the tariffs reduced. But of course that all depends on the Orange Dips*** and his childish mood swings.

In a rare bipartisan vote, the Senate indeed voted to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, passing a resolution to end the national emergency declaration that allowed the president to impose duties on Canadian goods.

But – and there is always a but – the vote is largely symbolic because it’s unlikely to become law.

The Republican-controlled House, under Speaker Mike Johnson, passed a new rule that bars any measures that challenge Donald Trump’s tariff policies. That effectively means that Senate vote won’t see the light of day.

While analysts say this second vote to nullify Trump’s tariffs is notable, it does not change Trump’s tariff policy.
