Britt Hume told Fox News Monday that Republicans could bring voters next year to gather voters over a strong economic plan that offsets the tariff policy currently in force.
US stocks experienced a sharp decline on Friday, continuing its downward trend after President Donald Trump announced new tariffs, leading to the sharpest market decline since June 2020.
“I think it adds impulse, bullet, for them to do something. The vote is close, but they need to do this. They try to talk to them to cut taxes, cut expenditures, and talk to them to give them something to give them something to bring home with them next year. “Of course, the hope is that their effects certainly offset some of the effects of these tariffs in the short term.”

“So all these incredible benefits we’re hearing about are new factories in the US, a return to manufacturing, it’s all time. Capitol Hill, especially Republicans in the House of Representatives, don’t have much time,” Hume said. “They can see why they are worried if elections are taking place next year and the short-term negative impacts that the administration has admitted to be real are still in place and there are no profits yet.”
As for the tariffs and where they will take the country, Hume said things are “a little unclear at this point.”
“And I think part of the worry is about what the main purpose of the tariff is. As Scott Bescent suggests, if the tariffs are lifted to negotiate more favorable terms with other countries, that’s one thing,” Hume said.
On the other hand, strategies can change if the intention behind tariffs is to exploit better terms of trade that could lead to removal. (Related: “The Real Villain”: Steve Moore will identify who created the market tank on Friday.
“But if the president is always arguing at times and by his economic aide and tariff advocate Peter Navarro, it would bring in a trillion dollars of revenue, which suggests that tariffs will stay here,” Hume said. “And it’s not entirely clear which objective is the main purpose. That leads to uncertainty, situations where people think they are worried about the economy due to immersion. Tariffs raise prices. They tend to curb economic activity.”
Since returning to the White House, Trump has begun strategic trade negotiations with several countries, including Mexico, China and Canada. During his first term, he introduced various trade policies aimed at China, which sparked trade debates between the US and China.
