Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) dismissed intraparty criticism after a Democratic-led effort to revoke President Donald Trump’s global tariff emergency collapsed due to a miscount in attendance, calling the high-stakes vote a “win-win” no matter the result. 

“If we won the vote, it was a good win, like we won the Canada vote, but we knew if we lost it, every single Republican, including those up for election, was the single vote that kept tariffs, kept these onerous tariffs on the backs of the American people,” Schumer said, speaking to reporters at a pen and pad briefing on Thursday morning.
