US EditionKarl Rove: Trump tariffs could cost GOP their majorities
- Karl Rove warned Republicans on May 30, 2025, that Trump's tariff policies could cost the GOP their majorities in next year's midterms due to voter confusion in the U.S.
- Rove attributes the party's risk to the president's inconsistent trade actions, such as declaring trade wars then postponing tariffs, causing a muddled message.
- He explained that this back-and-forth leaves voters unclear who to blame for rising prices, pointing out that voters tend not to fault foreign countries.
- In a Wall Street Journal column, Rove described the situation as "cleanup on aisle six" and called the administration's messaging "a muddled mess."
- Rove urged Republicans to pursue reciprocity, meaning the U.S. Should lower tariffs only if other countries do, to improve economic approval and GOP electoral prospects.
