UPDATE: Colorado Governor Jared Polis has sharply criticized former President Donald Trump‘s tariffs, asserting that there is “certainly no upside” to these economic policies. The remarks came during an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt earlier today, where he articulated the negative impact these tariffs have on Colorado’s economy and its citizens.
This urgent statement reflects growing concerns among state leaders regarding the implications of Trump’s trade policies. Governor Polis emphasized that the tariffs are detrimental to local businesses and consumers alike, urging immediate re-evaluation of these measures. “We need to prioritize our economy and ensure that our workers are not burdened by unnecessary costs,” he stated emphatically.
Polis also weighed in on the political landscape regarding Vice President Kamala Harris, discussing her potential candidacy for the 2028 Presidential election. His comments signal a broader conversation among Democratic leaders about the future of the party and its leadership.
