Trump’s second term has seen a significant increase in executive orders, with more than 140 signed in his first 100 days, and a decline in his approval rating.

The resolution to rein in Trump's tariff authority stalled on a 49-49 tie, with two senators missing the vote.

President Donald Trump narrowly avoided a rebuke from the U.S. Senate on his tariffs due to one Democratic senator's absence. The resolution, defeated with a 49-49 tie on April 30, reflects discontent with Trump's 10% across-the-board tariffs and now-paused "retaliatory" tariffs that rattled Wall Street and contributed to a shrinking GDP as four Republicans joined with all present Democrats in supporting it.

An evenly split U.S. Senate rejected the latest bid to overturn a slew of President Donald Trump's tariffs on Wednesday, hours after the federal government said the economy contracted for the first time in three years amid the chaos of the tariff regime.
