A Senate bill to block President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring an “energy emergency” failed to pass. 

The resolution, sponsored by Senators Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., failed in a party-line vote 53-47, Fox News reports. 

”This was nothing more than a cheap political stunt that prioritized ideology over affordability and it deserved the swift death it received,” Daniel Turner, executive director for Power The Future, said in a statement. 

In a statement announcing the introduction of the resolution, Heinrich accused Trump of “unlawful attacks on clean energy investments.”
