REP SUZAN DELBENE: TRUMP’S TARIFFS ARE RAISING PRICES AND AMERICAN FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING

April 2, 2026  

From FOX News (Op-Ed by Rep. DelBene): 

In the year since the president’s so-called ‘liberation day,’ American families have paid more than $1,700 and counting in higher costs as a result of his tariffs. On top of the higher prices consumers are paying, tariffs have caused significant and lasting harm to American businesses across the country.

To be blunt, name a part of our economy, and it’s being hurt by President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Make no mistake: House Republicans are just as responsible for this economic catastrophe as the White House is. Instead of doing their job and putting a stop to them, House Republicans continue to rubber-stamp Trump’s shortsighted and reckless policy.

It all speaks to a larger message that Republicans are sending to the American people. They don’t work for you. They only work for Trump.

Voters have a clear choice before them at the ballot box: a vote for Republicans will mean more tariffs and higher costs, while a vote for Democrats will mean holding Republicans accountable for their broken promises and awful economy.
