Sherrod Brown (D) · Former U.S. Senator; Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate (Ohio special election; on Nov. 3, 2026 ballot)
Topic: Tariffs
THEN · 2018-01-24
“We need to level the playing field for Ohio workers. These tariffs are a step in the right direction.”
NOW · 2026-02-23
“The reckless tariffs ruled illegal by the Supreme Court cost Ohioans $6.5 billion, but Jon Husted supported them at every turn.”
Context: The two posts refer to different tariff actions. The 2018 post linked coverage of the Trump administration's tariffs on imported washing machines and solar panels. The 2026 post refers to the tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal. Brown has long described his trade goal as leveling the playing field for workers.
