49-49, Bipartisan push to halt Trump tariffs fails in Senate after two supporters — Mitch McConnell and Sheldon Whitehouse — were absent. It would have passed if they were there.

Even if it passed, House GOP leaders planned to ignore it

McConnell was sick, Whitehouse traveling

Democrats are on record for being against Krasnov's tariffs, now they can't be blamed for them and should win the next election.

Schumer's strategy is to let Krasnov burn it all down.
