Internet reports that according to the Axios website, U.S. Senate Democrats will launch a last-ditch attempt on Wednesday to stop Trump's tariff measures that are due to take full effect this week. Democrats believe Trump's tariffs will add about $2400 to the annual spending of the average American family, and they are using this as an important defense point in the 2026 midterm elections. Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire will ask the Senate on Wednesday night to pass a motion confirming that the government cannot authorize the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which the Trump administration uses as the legal basis for tariff increases. Shaheen's action could have been stopped by just one congressman, which Republicans would almost certainly have done, but it gave Democrats a chance to make clear they support a tariff increase.
