Big Win for Trump: U.S Senate rejects bill to undo Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs

In a major political victory for Donald Trump, the U.S. Senate has rejected a resolution aimed at overturning his reciprocal tariffs, solidifying his economic stance even as the American economy shows signs of contraction. The resolution—introduced by Democrat Ron Wyden and backed by some Republicans-was narrowly defeated in a 49-49 vote. Vice President J.D. Vance broke the tie, blocking further Senate efforts to challenge Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs.The vote came just hours after official data showed the U.S. economy shrinking for the first time in three years. Critics warn the tariffs could fuel inflation and worsen the economic outlook, but Trump maintains they are vital to counter global trade imbalances. #TrumpTariffs #SenateVote #USPolitics #BreakingNews #TradeWar #USEconomy #JDVance #RonWyden #Trump2025 #TariffDebate #Inflation #EconomicEmergency #CapitolHill #Republicans #Democrats #TariffWar #Trump #Vance ~ED.103~HT.336~GR.124~

Trump’s Tax Cuts Roar Back: Senate GOP Smashes Through Filibuster | Budget Showdown on Capitol Hill

In a dramatic late-night session, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage for extending Donald Trump’s tax cuts — and they did it without a single Democratic vote. By bypassing the filibuster through budget reconciliation, the GOP now has a clear path to push through Trump’s economic, military, and border priorities. With $5 trillion in potential spending cuts and a looming debt ceiling crisis, this vote marks the beginning of a high-stakes budget war on Capitol Hill.
