Will the US-Canada trade war sway elections in border state battlegrounds? What Michigan voters said
A POLITICO poll found more than half of Americans say Trump was wrong to impose new tariffs on Canada.
- On Wednesday, Michigan GOP nominee Mike Rogers released a campaign ad distancing himself from President Donald Trump's tariff strategy, becoming the latest swing-state Republican to break with the president.
- President Donald Trump launched the trade war's current phase in August by imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian imports, which Canada matched dollar-for-dollar on United States products.
- Even among self-described "MAGA Trump voters" who support his tariff strategy, 40% said he should have waited until after the midterms to avoid jeopardizing elections in Michigan and Maine.
- In Maine, Republican Senator Susan Collins called for ending the trade war, while Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted defended the president's pursuit of a better deal; Democratic nominee former Sen. Sherrod Brown described the tariffs as a disaster.
- Economic bonds are being tested at the 1.5-mile Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, Michigan, as the Advancing American Freedom Foundation identifies these states as facing the most significant trade-related challenges.
