  • Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd of Missouri and 2 other GOP representatives joined Democrats in the House to vote against Trump's tariffs, signaling a major shift in opposition to the policy, with Hurd stating that "small and large manufacturers as well as agricultural producers" are being hurt by the tariffs.
  • Journalist Alan Beattie notes that Congress' awakening on the issue undermines Trump's case before the Supreme Court, with Beattie writing that "it's now implanted in public discourse that American companies and consumers, not foreigners, are paying the tariff costs."
  • The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and conservative groups like the Cato Institute are also speaking out against Trump's tariffs, with Cato vice president Scott Lincicome saying that the administration is "admitting, in other words, that gravity exists" by backing away from some tariffs.
