Live updates: Trump talks up tariffs as GOP braces for elections in Florida, Wisconsin
President Trump, and the economy, face a consequential week, as the president's promised reciprocal tariffs are slated to go into effect on Wednesday.
Details of the so-called "Liberation Day" have yet to be revealed, but they're expected to include sweeping reciprocal tariffs on other nations with duties on U.S. goods. Two days later, the March jobs report is released, which is expected to reflect broad federal job reductions.
On Monday, Trump is expected to sign more executive orders, though their focus is unknown.
On Capitol Hill, Congress returns. The Senate is expected to work on getting the budget resolution to the floor. On the House side, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will go head-to-head with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and her effort to allow proxy voting for new mothers, which Johnson opposes.
Republicans, meanwhile, are training their attention on Florida, where a pair of special elections will determine not only their margin of majority in the House but will indicate if discontent with the GOP has taken root since Election Day in November.
And in Wisconsin, the state's Supreme Court majority hangs in the balance of the election there on Tuesday. Elon Musk campaigned for the conservative in the race, Brad Schimel, on Sunday night.
