He's already running. There's a candidate by the name of Daniel Cameron. He's a former attorney general for the state of Kentucky. He's already announced. I think it was within seven minutes of McConnell announcing his retirement. So it tells you that this is pretty orchestrated. McConnell has been his mentor. He has served statewide in Kentucky. He is a black man.

He would certainly be the first black senator in Kentucky history. And he comes from that McConnell school. I also think he has credibility with sort of the MAGA wing of the party. And he has been a popular figure at places like CPAC, the annual conservative gathering. So I think he certainly enters this race as someone who could be seen as a bit of a frontrunner.

Interesting dynamic here is there might be some pressure from among Democrats to try to get Andy Beshear, the popular Democratic governor, to run. He and Cameron have faced off before and he's defeated him. I think voters see governor's races and senators' races very differently. I can't say with a straight face that I think Democrats, as we sit here today, could make a serious run for Kentucky.

But Beshear is going to make that conversation interesting. And also because Beshear is someone that might consider himself someone who might want to run for president someday. So Kentucky will just be an interesting place to watch politically.

You do get the sense that Canada has been put on its back foot a little bit since Trump took office. I think that Mexico was prepared for a more contentious relationship with the White House. But I don't know if Canada really saw this coming. I will say broadly, I don't think anyone should be surprised by this. If there was anything...

that Trump talked about more consistently on the campaign trail and has seemed the most committed to in the entirety of his political lifetime is the idea of tariffs. And I think these two specific types of tariffs, I think, illuminate how Trump sees them in two different ways. I think that the initial tariffs that he had announced against Canada and Mexico

were a bit of a stick it wasn't about the economy it was about getting these countries to respond to immigration and drug policies and frankly they did so i think that there are a lot of trump allies that look at his efforts on tariffs and say look it gets people to the table and it gets people to enact policies they might not otherwise enact if he wasn't so threatening on the steel and aluminum front i think these are a little bit different i think that this is much more aligned

with Trump's economic vision and that he's trying to right-size certain US industries, like the US steel industry, which the industry itself is celebrating the tariffs, if not domestic manufacturers. I don't think it's a negotiating tactic. I think it's economic policy. And so it doesn't seem to me that those would be as likely peeled back.
