Trump campaigns in battleground Michigan with trade talk swirling

In Battleground Michigan, Donald Trump talking tariffs. Canada has been ripping off the United States for years, okay, for years. But the Republican candidate for Senate Trump is stumping for, not so sure. Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy. We need to end this tariff war now. We have some important work to do. No talk of that here, but trucks hauling Canadian trash to garbage dumps in Michigan a practice in place for decades, did come up. The president just this week announced he's going to tariff those trash trucks. With the midterms just nine days out, Democrats in Michigan countering with a president of their own. Canada making frequent cameos there, too. I'm talking about annexing their country, making it a 51st state. And so rather than these tariffs bringing down the deficits like he said he would, They're driving up your prices. Tariffs and trade policy, a big election issue in this border state. It's amazing when your boss tells you they're cutting back your hours because of the tariff war with Canada. The same story in Maine. The Republican senator there in a tight race. Convincing the Trump administration to grant her state some tariff relief, arguing that some products imported from Canada are essential to operations and can't be affordably replaced with U.S. alternatives. The Democrats hope to flip both the House and the Senate this election. No easy task. But with Americans frustrated by inflation and tariffs, polls suggest it's possible. Against that backdrop, the White House is once again signaling a broader deal with Canada could be coming. The negotiations have picked up. They're gathering steam. Secretary Lutnick has been talking to his Canadian counterparts all week. I think it's very close to finally having a deal on that. Now, Canadian officials seem less bullish on the potential for a deal. A spokesperson writing in a statement that we stand ready to work constructively and in good faith towards a more mutually beneficial trading relationship that respects Canada's interests. And Aaron, with time running out in this campaign, the Republicans are focusing on a few select states. They will be, Ian, and the easiest way to figure out which ones is to just follow the money, right? I mean, the Republicans have a lot more money to play with in this campaign. So where they are spending on ads in the coming days, places like Maine, Michigan, Texas, Ohio, that's going to tell us a lot about the races they think they're in as they try to hang on to control of the Senate.
