Trade is a really fun (I mean complicated) issue for the two parties right now. Decades ago Republicans were for free trade and Democrats were less so. Then, in the era of the new Democrats, mostly everyone agreed that free trade was good. Now there are meaningful segments of both parties that are skeptical about free trade. Given that Trump is enacting tariffs, and candidates want to be anti-Trump, I assume that we’ll hear more in favor of free trade. But it’s still a messy topic for Democrats.
