Marc Short: Instead of Tackling Inflation, ‘Republicans Have Marched Lockstep in Support of [Trump’s] ‘15th Century Trade Policy’’

EXCERPT:

SHORT: “I think that for Democrats, you elected from a socialist candidate who is sympathetic to Hamas in New York to a candidate in Virginia who has called for political assassination of his opponents and their families, I think that'll create a big foil for Republicans. But if that's the only lesson for Republicans, it's a mistake. I think it was clear to the mayor's point that voters across the country were talking about cost of living. And in many cases, they elected Donald Trump to try to defeat the inflation that was caused by Joe Biden. And instead, they continue to face challenges with cost of living. And Republicans have marched lockstep in support of this 15th century trade policy that the administration continues to push. And if they're going to walk in the midterms on that same platform, it's going to be a big challenge for Republicans.”
