In Another Win for Trump, Senate Resolution on Tariffs Fails
Rebecca Downs | April 30, 2025 8:30 PM
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump announced his list of reciprocal tariffs on a day heralded as "Liberation Day." That didn't sit well with some, though, as the Senate put forth a resolution on Wednesday night to scrap tariffs. The plan failed, though, thanks to attendance issues from senators who previously supported such plans to do with tariffs.
The ultimate vote was 49-49, and given McConnell's support for a similar bill to do with tariffs on Canada, as well as how every other present Democrat voted for the resolution, these absences are almost certainly to blame. There were Republicans, who besides McConnell, also have voted against tariffs and voted in favor of the resolution on Wednesday, including Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
As The Hill reported when it comes to those absences, and the implications of such a resolution:
McConnell and Whitehouse had both missed the two votes earlier in the day. One Senate GOP member told The Hill that McConnell was sick and unable to vote.
“The Senator has been consistent in opposing tariffs and that a trade war is not in the best interest of American households and businesses. He believes that tariffs are a tax increase on everybody,” David Popp, a McConnell spokesperson, said in a statement
Whitehouse was reportedly traveling from South Korea.
The vote was held open longer than normal amid questions about next steps. The chamber immediately proceeded to a vote that would block off the resolution from coming to the floor once again.

Senate Republican leaders had dismissed the importance of Wednesday’s vote.
“I think the broad majorities of Republicans are giving the administration … some space to figure out if they can get some good deals. We’re awaiting the results of that,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters before the vote. “I wouldn’t attach too much weight to it.”
Not long after the initial vote took place, the Senate voted to block another vote on such a resolution, as The Hill mentioned would happen. The vote was once more 49-49, with Vice President JD Vance casting a tiebreaking vote to prevent the vote from coming up again.
