The vote highlights bipartisan opposition to the tariffs, which Trump defended during his Asia trip. Meanwhile, other political developments include a delayed confirmation hearing for Trump's nominee for surgeon general due to labor, ongoing bipartisan negotiations to reopen the government, and a Senate committee postponing a vote on a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation nominee amid workplace misconduct concerns.

"Senators Condemn Republican Congressman's Verbal Abuse of Young Pages"

Republican congressman Derrick Van Orden from Wisconsin faced bipartisan criticism after yelling and cursing at high school-aged Senate pages during a late-night tour of the Capitol. Van Orden used profanity to describe the pages as lazy and ordered them off the floor of the Capitol Rotunda. Senate leaders, including Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, rebuked Van Orden for his behavior and thanked the pages for their service.
