Democrats applaud United States Supreme Court ruling striking down Donald Trump's illegal IEEPA tariffs [View all]

This morning, the United States Supreme Court dealt the Trump regime’s horrific tariffs scheme a big blow, holding that the law the regime had claimed gave it the authority to levy sweeping tariffs did no such thing. While a furious Donald Trump fumed and sputtered at the White House, Democrats across the country hailed the decision. Here’s a roundup of the statements that we’ve received in our organizational inbox.

From Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, who will deliver the Democratic response to Trump’s next major speech to Congress:

The Trump Administration’s trade policies are causing financial strain for Virginians across the Commonwealth.

From Washington State Governor Bob Ferguson:

Washington is one of the most trade-dependent states in the nation. Research has shown that American companies and consumers are bearing 90 percent of the economic burden of President Trump’s tariffs. That’s why I led a coalition of more than two dozen public and private partners to tell Washington’s story to the Supreme Court. The court agreed with us, and struck down the President’s harmful and illegal tariffs.
