Senator JD Vance (R-OH) appeared for an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday to discuss the success of former President Donald Trump’s tariffs that President Joe Biden is trying to implement to boost him ahead of November’s election.
During the interview, Vance pointed out that Biden is turning to tariffs, which he opposed strongly in 2020, because he thinks it will boost his standing with voters.
When asked about his opposition to Biden’s tariffs, Vance explained, “There are 2 things here. First of all, many of the tariffs that Joe Biden has endorsed in the last couple of weeks are tariffs that he ran against in 2020, but now that he sees that Donald Trump is leading in the polls, he’s adopting the Donald Trump agenda. That’s not actually being a good policy President, that’s shifting on politics because you know you are about to lose.”
Vance also explained that Biden’s tariffs target green energy products and commodities and as such would not benefit “heartland” industrial workers who are most affected by China’s steel industry.
Vance further explained, “Biden’s entire agenda such that it exists has been about protecting green energy jobs at the expense of the industrial heartland. If you were in Wisconsin, Michigan or Pennsylvania, you are not being empowered or enriched by Joe Biden’s green energy agenda.”
Biden is betting on voters watching him enact Trump-era policies and rewarding him with their votes in November. However, Vance won’t stand for this scheme and hopefully, the rest of the Republican Party won’t as well.
