Sen. Tim Kaine’s (D-VA) move to revoke the emergency declaration giving President Donald Trump powers to place tariffs on Canada has at least four Republican senators’ votes, according to CNN’s Haley Talbot.

“Sen Tim Kaine reveals [Mitch] McConnell is a YES on his tariffs vote expected around 7pm,” Talbot reported on Wednesday, adding:

Kaine said last night at 6p he went up to McConnell and he didn’t even get to the q and McConnell said “I’m with you”

Kaine says rock solid GOP with him are [Susan] Collins, [Lisa] Murkowski, Rand Paul, and McConnell

Talbot also noted the Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told her CNN colleague Manu Raju that “he doesn’t plan on voting for Kaine’s resolution, but he has ‘some concerns with the trade policies being discussed,’ adding, ‘we need to see what comes out tomorrow and be instructed by that before we take action.’” Kaine would need the support of at least four GOP Senators to pass his resolution.
