NEW YORK, NY (Fox News) — Some of the most hotly contested states in this year’s elections are facing steep tariff bills, impacting affordability and everyday goods costs. Candidates from both parties are campaigning on promises to address these economic pressures.
Tariffs Impacting Affordability
California and Texas lead in tariff totals, with collections nationwide up 300% under President Trump. The surge in revenue has become a key part of Trump’s economic agenda.
Supreme Court Battle Looming
The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the tariffs’ legality, which could have significant implications on federal revenue and the administration’s trade strategy. The decision could have far-reaching effects beyond Washington.
