President Donald Trump scored a victory with a squeaker of a Senate vote late Wednesday: A resolution aimed at undoing his tariffs failed — but just barely. 

S.J.Res. 49, a joint resolution terminating “the national emergency declared by President Donald J. Trump on April 2, 2025, which imposed a 10% tariff on most imports to the United States and additional duties on specified trading partners,” introduced by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), came up short with a 49-49 tie. 

With three Republicans voting “yes” (Rand Paul (KY), Susan Collins (ME), and Lisa Murkowski (AK)), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) not voting, that left the vote at a tie, which, by rule, fails.
