Republicans have created their own time warp and totally ceded the power of Congress to Trump. In order for Trump to impose his insane tariffs, he declared a National Economic Emergency. This emergency can be ended by a vote of Congress within 15 days of the vote being proposed. Democrats called for a vote and the Republicans changed the calendar. From now and to the end of the 119th Congress, the remaining months shall be counted as one day.
No Republican wants to be held accountable by voting to end Trump's disastrous tariffs. They would rather their constituents suffer the effects of Trump tanking the economy than say no him. Remember this the next election cycle as the country slides into a recession. You can't blame Biden for this.
