Republicans Should Stand Up to Trump and Do Something About It

Published | Video Starts at 01:56

Republics had another opportunity to stand up to Trump in September, and instead they voted in favor of giving their power away to Trump again, this time taking away Congress's ability to rein in Trump's tariffs until March 2026. But even Trump himself is starting to see how toxic his tariffs are. He recently repealed some of his own tariffs. Coffee, other food items. That's an acknowledgment that these tariffs did raise prices for American people. And this acknowledgment that tariffs are driving up prices is equally true for the thousands of other goods on which his tariffs remain. (01:56–02:03)
