New York Times (May 14)
President Biden unveiled “a wave of new tariffs on billions of dollars in Chinese products, ramping up duties on industries like electric cars and solar energy that are core to his economic agenda.” The new duties cover roughly $18 billion of annual Chinese imports and are in addition to the $300 billion worth of Chinese imports already covered by existing tariffs. The new tariffs will “appeal to voters in battleground states,” but it’s unclear if they will be “enough to rebuild America’s industrial base in a global race with China to lead in the new economy.”

“Joe Biden has broken former President Barack Obama’s record for total votes set in the historic 2008 election.” The 70 million votes Biden has already racked already exceed “Obama’s record of more than 69 million votes, with millions of ballots still being counted in several battleground states….” The former Vice President’s “record-breaking performance is shocking considering the voter enthusiasm – especially among young people – his former boss had in 2008.”
