Gary Hufbauer from the Peterson Institute for International Economics suggests that the Harris-Walz administration could be slightly more favorable towards trade compared to the Biden administration.
Kamala Harris’s Record: Harris’s relatively limited record on trade issues might allow her to adopt a more centrist position, potentially attracting bipartisan support.
Tim Walz’s Perspective: As Governor of Minnesota, Walz has seen firsthand the negative impacts of tariffs on agriculture, which might resonate with both Democratic and Republican lawmakers from agricultural states. His pragmatic approach could appeal to moderates on both sides.
