Key Excerpts:
- Since Trump came into office, Michigan families have been forced to pay on average $1,700 more for their everyday needs.
- According to some estimates, that number could shoot up to $2,500 in 2026 alone.
- That’s unacceptable. Michiganders work too hard and can’t afford these Trump-caused higher costs.
- I’ll keep fighting to put a stop to these reckless and chaotic tariffs once and for all.
