Daily Fetched: House Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, has emerged as an ardent defender of President Donald Trump’s tariff policies in Congress.
Golden, who won a series of close elections in a district Trump carried by nine percentage points last year, defended the President for his tariffs.
The Democrat’s support is significant—not only because it exposes RINO Republicans who have introduced bills to strip away Trump’s tariff authority—but also because he’s calling on the President to ignore detractors.
“I’m pleased the President is building his tariff agenda on the foundation of a universal 10 percent tariff like the one I proposed in the BUILT USA Act. This ring fence around the American economy is a good start to erasing our unsustainable trade deficits,” Golden said.
“I’m eager to work with the president to fix the broken “free trade” system that made multinational corporations rich but ruined manufacturing communities across the country,” he added.
“But tariffs must be paired with policies prioritizing American families’ prosperity,” the congressman concluded. more here
There’s a Blue Dog Democrat??? How did they not primary him out of existence???
On the other hand, it’s not like we have seen this guy vote against Dems often, if ever. Maybe another Fetterman, talking reasonably but not acting that way.
Golden represents CD 2 in Maine. A very red district.
The only reason he won was ranked choice voting.
So every once in a while he has to vote with Republicans.
I’ll take it though.
