The Senate on Wednesday night failed to end President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration to impose global tariffs, which were announced on his "liberation day," despite some support from Republicans in the upper chamber.

The vote to end the declaration was split 49-49, with three Republicans voting in favor of ending the tariffs alongside every Democrat present. The three Republicans who voted in favor are Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul of Kentucky.

“Tariffs are taxes, plain and simple," Paul said in a floor speech before the vote. "Tariffs don’t punish foreign governments, they punish American families. When we tax imports, we raise the price of everything, from groceries, to smart phones to washing machines to just about every conceivable product.” 

Paul and Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden led the resolution. Although Democrats attempted to pass the bill through the Senate, it would have died in the Republican House upon arrival, according to The Hill.
