A recent analysis by Morning Consult found that two-thirds of Americans would blame the Trump administration for tariff-related price increases due to proposed levies on goods from China, Canada, and Mexico. President Trump agreed to pause tariffs on Canada and Mexico for 30 days after they pledged to boost border enforcement, but tariffs on China are still set to go into effect. Trump’s approval rating has fallen by 3 percentage points, with more voters now disapproving of his job performance. In addition, Democratic voters believe their party is not heading in the right direction, which poses challenges for the newly elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee. In local election news, Amy Cozze joined the primary race for Northampton County Executive in Pennsylvania, while Judge Ursula Jones Dickson was appointed as the Alameda County District Attorney in California. In South Dakota, Rep. Tony Venhuizen was sworn in as lieutenant governor, and in Detroit, City Councilman Fred Durhal announced his candidacy for mayor. In Virginia, Rich Anderson decided not to run for lieutenant governor, and in Pennsylvania, both parties have picked their nominees for a special election for the state House. In Boston, nonprofit head Josh Kraft announced his challenge to Mayor Michelle Wu, and in New York City, a poll shows that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a significant lead in the Democratic primary for mayor. Lastly, in North Carolina, litigation concerning last year’s state Supreme Court race remains unresolved, while Senator Lindsey Graham received endorsements as he prepares for a potential GOP primary challenge in South Carolina.
