It's a very nuanced and convoluted subject to see how these tariffs kind of affect different companies.

We don't see the huge swings in tariff policy that we saw in spring of 2025 where, you know, we had 150 almost percent tariffs on China and then they were paused, they were taken down.

What you do see, though, is the administration preparing to put tariffs on other specific industries, whether this is like industrial robots or we're waiting for their semiconductor tariffs.

And so even though it is more settled than it was this time last year, it's still very unsettled for businesses compared to, you know, any other administration.

So a lot of kind of compliance issues and things for companies to still sift through here.

The economy is the story in Ohio.

Brown is out there talking about Trump's tariffs, the cost of living.

He's talking about job security.

That is his message.

It's the economy and the economy is not going well.

Yeah, I think this is a really interesting kind of test case for Democrats nationwide.

How do they run against the president's trade agenda?

You know, Brown himself has long supported tariffs not only on China but on individual industries like steel and aluminum that Trump has done.

So I think the challenge for him is can he –

stick to espousing targeted tariffs on specific industries like steel, maybe even automobiles, and then criticizing the broader Trump agenda of doing, you know, an across the board tariff of 10% that ends up just basically being a sales tax on many goods for American voters.

So I think we'll see how he's able to handle that there.

We'll see how Democrats up in Michigan, where there's an open primary and a Senate election as well, will handle that.

You haven't seen any of those candidates say, I support all of Trump's tariffs, right?

They're kind of trying to have a Goldilocks approach.

Not too much and not too little.
