Do GOP Candidates for Governor Support Trump’s 25% Tariff Price Hike? 

While Trump’s tariffs will raise costs on families, Democratic governors are taking real action to make life more affordable across the country 

President Trump’s 25% tariffs on goods from Canada threaten to raise prices and jeopardize American exports, putting higher costs on families and hurting our economy, manufacturing, and agriculture industry in the process. Republican governors and candidates for governor must answer if they support Trump’s tariff price hike that threatens to raise prices by over $1,200 per family every year.

“In this year’s two key governor’s races, voters in New Jersey and Virginia need to know: do the Republican candidates for governor support Trump’s tariff price hike that threatens to make life more expensive?” said DGA States Press Secretary Emma O’Brien. “While Republican governors and candidates are backing a dangerous scheme to drive costs even higher and undermine American jobs and businesses, Democratic governors and candidates for governor are laser-focused on making life more affordable for families in their states, taking action to lower costs and put money back in peoples’ pockets. In the upcoming governors’ races, the contrast couldn’t be clearer.”
