U.S. House Narrowly Rejects Motion, Trump Tariff Resolution Can Proceed to Full House Vote

Odaily News: U.S. House lawmakers on Tuesday rejected Speaker Johnson's attempt to block a vote on President Trump's tariff resolution, dealing a heavy blow to Johnson's leadership and paving the way for lawmakers to criticize Trump's signature economic policy. The procedural motion failed to pass with 217 votes against and 214 in favor, as three Republican lawmakers joined all 214 Democrats in voting against it, defeating the motion in the narrowly divided House. This vote means Democrats will be able to bring a resolution challenging Trump's tariff policy to a full House vote, potentially initiating a series of closely watched voting procedures as early as Wednesday local time. Although Trump can veto any resolution that reaches his desk, its passage would signify a public rebuke of his tariff policy and is likely to provoke a strong reaction from the White House. (Jin10)
