"Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.), Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) voted to terminate Trump's use of a national emergency to impose tariffs on Canada. Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) was the lone Democratic no. Wednesday's vote marks the first time the House has formally weighed in on Trump's trade agenda. The vote was 219-211."
"Catch up quick: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had, for the last year, been blocking the House from voting on tariff disapproval resolutions. That blockade cracked Tuesday night, when a small group of Republicans revolted against leadership's effort to continue the ban. A procedural vote that would have barred such votes until July 31 failed after Massie, Kevin Kiley and Bacon voted "no.""
The House voted 219-211 to terminate President Trump's national emergency declaration used to impose tariffs on Canada. Six Republicans — Thomas Massie, Don Bacon, Kevin Kiley, Dan Newhouse, Jeff Hurd, and Brian Fitzpatrick — joined Democrats; Rep. Jared Golden was the lone Democratic no. House Speaker Mike Johnson had blocked votes on tariff disapproval resolutions for about a year before a small Republican revolt broke the blockade. The White House and GOP leadership mounted an aggressive whip effort but failed. House Democrats plan privileged resolutions to force votes on other tariffs, including one targeting Mexico. The Canada measure now moves to the Senate and faces an almost certain presidential veto.
