The resolution to rein in Trump's tariff authority stalled on a 49-49 tie, with two senators missing the vote.

Senate Republicans have narrowly voted down a Democratic resolution that would have blocked global tariffs announced by Donald Trump earlier this month, giving the president a modest win Wednesday as lawmakers in both parties have remained skeptical of his trade agenda.

The U.S. Senate was scheduled to vote later on Wednesday on a resolution to block a host of President Donald Trump's tariffs, hours after the federal government reported that the nation's economy contracted for the first time in three years amid the chaos of the president's tariff policies.
