Johnson moves to again block House from voting on Trump tariffs

Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday he is moving forward with a plan to revive a prohibition on House votes to overturn President Donald Trump’s global tariffs.

Johnson told reporters he believes he will have the votes to include the block in a procedural measure set for House consideration Tuesday. The House Rules Committee approved legislation Monday that would prevent any further tariff votes through July 31.

The move comes after a previous blockade imposed by GOP leaders expired — and House Democrats threatened to force a vote as soon as Wednesday that would effectively cancel Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

But it is far from clear that Johnson will actually have the necessary votes. A band of House Republicans are already pushing back on the plans, with a group of at least six tariff-skeptical GOP members discussing the matter on the floor Monday night. With united Democratic opposition expected, nays from as few as two Republicans could derail the effort.
