U.S. House lawmakers Tuesday rejected Speaker Johnson's attempt to block a vote on President Trump's tariff resolution, a blow to Johnson's leadership and paving the way for criticism of Trump's signature economic policies. The procedural motion failed to pass with 217 votes against and 214 in favor, with three Republicans joining the 214 Democrats in voting against it, defeating the motion in the narrowly contested House. This vote means Democrats will be able to bring a resolution challenging Trump's tariff policies to a full House vote, potentially triggering a series of closely watched voting procedures as early as Wednesday. While Trump can veto any resolution submitted to his desk, the passage of this vote represents a public rejection of his tariff policies and could trigger a strong reaction from the White House.
