Watch: Senate Dems speak out against Trump’s ‘senseless’ tariff agenda

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) joined by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), left, talks to reporters ahead of announcements by President Trump on tariffs, at the Capitol, in Washington, April 1, 2025.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) is leading the charge against looming “Liberation Day” tariffs set to be announced by President Trump on Wednesday.

During an event in the Senate Radio-TV Gallery, Schumer and other Democrats were expected to rail against Trump’s “senseless trade war,” according to their announcement.

They argue that the administration’s sweeping tariffs on imported goods “will raise prices on everything from groceries to gas to household items” for everyday Americans and will “continue to cause chaos in the economy.”

The event was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EDT.
