House Democrats plan to force a vote on Wednesday to overturn President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada after the House Republican leadership's mechanism blocking such tariff overturn votes expired, according to sources familiar with the effort cited in an X post by Jake Sherman at approximately 8:00 PM UTC on February 9, 2026, within the 29-minute reporting window from 7:45 PM to 8:15 PM UTC. The Canada resolution, introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee top Democrat Rep. Gregory Meeks, is expected to be the first called up now that Speaker Mike Johnson's blockade on tariff votes has ended, per the sources in Sherman's post (https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/2020950492277506070). Democrats' plans are not yet final, but Meeks has additional resolutions ready for coming weeks. Separately, a Change Research poll in Iowa shows Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks holding a three-point lead against all three Democratic challengers, with her favorability underwater but the lead shrinking on an informed ballot, according to an X post by Ben Jacobs (https://x.com/Bencjacobs/status/2020894441196663099).
