Democrats Prepare Bills and Investigations to Challenge Trump's Tariffs

According to CNBC, Democrats are preparing investigations into President Donald Trump's tariff exemptions and a first-100-hours legislative push to roll back parts of his agenda after their victory in Tuesday's midterm elections. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has made ending the tariffs a priority and, if elected speaker, would move legislation to reassert Congress' authority over trade. Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed called for ending the tariff regime, particularly the trade war with Canada, while Sen. Ron Wyden identified tariffs on Canada as an initial target. Democrats lack a 60-vote Senate majority, and overriding a Trump veto would require two-thirds majorities in both chambers.
