Summary
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has criticized former President Donald Trump’s tariffs and economic policies, arguing that they negatively impact American families. Emhoff contends that Trump’s approach, particularly his reliance on tariffs, could cost the average American household approximately $4,000, while asserting that Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic policies would foster growth and stability.
In a recent interview, Emhoff emphasized Harris’s understanding of the economy and her commitment to balancing business interests with worker protections.

Emhoff’s critique reflects a broader Democratic narrative that seeks to position Harris’s economic strategy as a more sustainable and equitable alternative to Trump’s approach, which he argues could lead the country into recession.
