Trump Says House Would Sustain His Mexico Tariffs

Although Senate Republicans believe they have the votes to override a veto preventing President Trump from putting tariffs on Mexico, the president tweeted a quote from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy saying House Republicans will sustain a veto-proof majority for Trump’s tariffs on Mexico no matter what the Senate does.

Playbook: “As long as McCarthy and House Republicans have the president’s back, the Senate can gripe — but that’s it.”
