Kaine told reporters on Capitol Hill that he approached McConnell on the Senate floor yesterday evening. "I said, 'I want to talk to you about my Canadian tariffs bill.' And, you know, I didn't even get to the question, and he said, 'I'm with you.'

Reposted from NBC News

NEW: Sen. Tim Kaine says that Sen. Mitch McConnell plans to support a Democratic-sponsored resolution that would eliminate President Trump's imposed tariffs on Canada.

If you're counting on McConnell, Collins and Murkowski, then don't hold your breath.

docsnow.bsky.social•8 days ago

Fine. But McConnell is not bringing anyone along with him. He also voted no on some disastrous confirmations, but they still went through. McConnell needs to do better.

Canada here.
We're waiting.
Surprise us, Mitch.

You know Mitch is losing it because a)he is defying #vptrump and b)he blabbed to Kain.

Until Mitch blue screens and they need to reboot him....

We need more actions not words

if the architect of evil really thinks he will gain John McCain stature with these "too little too late" votes, he has another guess coming

ghostofgroucho.bsky.social•8 days ago

As with ALL things Mitch, i will believe it when the rubber hits the road.

Also, KY has to be getting hit big time with Canadians not buying American made alcohol.

orangeplus.bsky.social•8 days ago

Dude has nothing to lose at this point so there may be hope, but I do understand where you are coming from

bluarepawerewolf.bsky.social•8 days ago

Was going to say the same.

>>

It all hinges on terminating the bullshit "state of emergency" that enables Trump initiate tariff changes without Congressional action.

Hell knows no fury like a former Senate leader scorned

He’s getting ready to meet his maker and knows he’s gonna have to answer for this shift show

atxdem1.bsky.social•8 days ago

Nice- Still , We can blame McCon for the mess we are in, and he knows it

Too late. Canadians have settled into a "Boycott American-Made" mindset that will take many years, if not decades, to reverse.

ktgray.bsky.social•8 days ago

Being remotely grateful for Mitch McConnell was never on my bingo card

blueheart-here.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'll believe it when McConnell actually does it, not before.

kristinaw1021.bsky.social•8 days ago

Whatever - McConnell is a fucking idiot - period.

ballardmike.bsky.social•8 days ago

What #MoscowMitch says and does... well, ya know....

nalathenoodlegator.bsky.social•8 days ago

Isn’t McConnell invested in Kentucky bourbon.I believe I read that the tariffs will crucify that business.

bonskifin.bsky.social•8 days ago

That’s good news, but he’s still going to hell.

missgiven.bsky.social•8 days ago

If you believe in that kinda thing.

laggerific.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m willing to give him redemption, but he’s going to need to run through a few Jeremy Bearimys for it.

bonskifin.bsky.social•8 days ago

Actually, I do not. But there is hell on earth isn’t there? I feel like we’re living, if not in it, at least on the periphery.

norenejelliffe.bsky.social•8 days ago

About time!!

mountaineer77.bsky.social•8 days ago

Because those tariffs will destroy the bourbon industry in Kentucky

steveaggy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ah, good point...what about Collins in Maine, though? What's her thing?

melissapiece.bsky.social•8 days ago

Doesn't Maine get their energy from Canada? Tariffs will hurt their residents a lot!

Found an article: https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2025-03-04/canadian-tariffs-likely-to-increase-maines-energy-costs

steveaggy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Good point. Thanks! (Collins is going to capitulate to #vptrump anyway)
