On the latest edition of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice dive into all things tariffs.
David and Aaron discuss:
How the traditional media—and the stock markets—were credulous in deciding that Donald Trump’s tariff “pause” meant all was well.
Why Democrats who try to thread the needle on tariffs are playing a dangerous game that will probably backfire.
How Trump’s economy is impacting downballot elections this year.
And much more.
