Senator Ted Cruz cautioned that Republicans may face significant electoral losses in the 2026 midterm elections if President Trump's tariffs lead to a recession or trade war. He expressed concern about the potential for prolonged tariffs to result in retaliation from other countries, harming the US economy and job market. Cruz's comments reflect growing unease among GOP members about trade policies, signifying bipartisan support emerging for legislation aimed at reinstating congressional authority over tariff decisions, countering the Trump administration's approach.
"The imposition of global reciprocal duties on imported goods is causing unease among Republicans, with concerns over long-term tariffs leading to potential economic consequences."
"I worry, there are voices within the administration that want to see these tariffs continue for ever and ever," Cruz stated, expressing concerns about prolonged trade tensions.
