The Illusion of Manufacturing Revival

Andrew Walworth, RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann and RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende discuss the reaction to Trump’s tariff announcement, including a Senate vote to rescind tariffs against Canada that passed with the support of all Democrats and four Republicans. They also talk about New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ announcement today that he will run as an independent in his re-election bid, setting up a possible November showdown with Democrat Andrew Cuomo. Also, anti-Trump organizers will hold more than 600 events nationwide under the umbrella organization “Hands Off!” this Saturday. Is this the revival of “The Resistance”? Next, Andrew Walworth talks to John Tamny, editor of RealClear Markets, about why he believes Trump’s tariff policies cannot bring back manufacturing to America’s heartland, and why he’s fine with that. And finally, Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of the Federalist newsite, talks with Maggie Miller of RealClear Investigations about how federal agencies helped build a network of institutions that worked to suppress her publication and what can be done to dismantle “the censorship industrial complex".
