Topics
Michelle Martin-Densey Martinez: 威斯康星州最高法院竞选是美国历史上最昂贵的司法竞选，这场竞选的巨额支出令人关注。佛罗里达州的两次特别选举中，民主党人有机会赢得共和党掌控的众议院席位，特朗普总统的支持可能会影响共和党候选人的胜算。投资者担心特朗普总统即将推出的贸易战新阶段，这可能会导致市场动荡。 Elon Musk: 我支持保守派候选人，因为他们会继续推进政府改革，而自由派会阻止这些改革。 Anya Van Wagtendonk: 威斯康星州最高法院竞选在全国范围内受到关注，因为这场竞选的结果将决定法院的意识形态平衡，并反映选民对特朗普总统执政初期看法的测试。这场竞选的巨额资金来自两党和全国各地，其中伊隆·马斯克是最大的捐款人。这场竞选的结果将影响堕胎法、劳工法和选举相关案件的判决。 Greg Allen: 佛罗里达州的两次特别选举与特朗普总统有关，因为这两个席位的空缺是由特朗普政府官员离职造成的。尽管特朗普在这些选区获胜，但自他实施政策议程以来，情况发生了变化，民主党人投入了大量资金，认为这些竞选具有竞争力。在佛罗里达州的两个选区中，共和党候选人都与特朗普关系密切，而民主党候选人筹集了更多资金。民主党人认为他们在佛罗里达州的特别选举中有一线希望，并将其视为在11月选举失利后重振党派的机会。共和党，包括特朗普总统，都担心这些国会竞选，因为他们可能会失去在国会的微弱多数优势。 Scott Horsley: 关税是税收，会推高物价，抑制消费，并可能招致对美国出口商品的报复，而特朗普政府不可预测的关税政策增加了不确定性。美国的一些国内产业长期以来受到特殊保护，这为理解特朗普的贸易保护主义倾向提供了线索，例如制糖业。受贸易壁垒保护的产业往往缺乏投资、创新和在全球市场竞争的动力。“鸡肉税”就是一个例子，它说明贸易壁垒不仅影响利润，还影响企业运营方式。 Susan Crawford: 伊隆·马斯克在特斯拉公司在威斯康星州提起诉讼后几天就开始捐款，意图购买影响力。 Kirk Vashaw: 贸易壁垒导致成本上升，这不仅影响了利润，还导致美国糖果制造业衰退。
