Fox News
Democrats in the Senate failed to pass a resolution that would have reversed President Donald Trump’s executive order on "Unleashing American Energy."
"Tim Kaine wants to impoverish Americans. President Donald Trump’s executive order brings America into the future and unleashes prosperity. Senator [Tim] Kaine wants to cost the economy trillions and risk losing nearly a million jobs," deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

The resolution was introduced by Democratic Sens. Tim Kaine and Martin Heinrich as they argued the emergency declaration made by the president would "benefit big oil" but harm Americans, according to a statement provided by the lawmakers to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
