Democrats’ emerging divide over Trump’s tariffs
POLITICO reports some Democrats favor tariff cuts to lower costs, while others want to retain tariffs that protect manufacturing.
TLDR
POLITICO reports that Democrats are campaigning against Trump’s tariffs ahead of the midterms, but disagree over what should come next. Some favor lowering tariffs to cut costs for consumers and businesses; others want to keep some as a manufacturing tool. The report says the debate could become more public after the midterms and during the 2028 presidential primary. The Wall Street Journal’s Greg Ip argues tariffs have become a political liability amid cost-of-living concerns.
