House Democrats plot barrage of anti-tariff votes after stunning GOP failure
Summary
House Democrats plan to try to overturn some of President Trump's tariffs by forcing votes in the House of Representatives. A recent attempt by Republicans to block these votes failed because three Republican members disagreed with their party. Even if these votes pass the House, they are unlikely to succeed in the Senate or bypass President Trump's veto.Key Facts
