Raffensperger Eyes 2026 Georgia Race as Trump’s Tariffs Reshape U.S.-China Trade

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is signaling a potential 2026 run for governor or U.S. Senate, with posts on X indicating strong hints but no firm commitment. Meanwhile, a false report claimed Amazon planned to display tariff costs, when only its low-cost Haul unit considered it, sparking media onslaught. Media, including CNN, praised China’s defiance against Trump’s tariffs, highlighting patriotic rhetoric, while ignoring China’s property slump and downgraded economic outlook. The U.S. closed a tariff loophole, ending duty-free imports under $800, impacting Chinese retailers like Temu and Shein, prompting China to consider trade talks. Airlines face losses from grounded cargo planes. Media frenzy surrounds Trump’s University of Alabama commencement speech, where he emphasized job creation, as Scott Bessent and Doug Burgum work on economic recovery, with a jobs report imminent.

Raffensperger is getting ready to make a move. Is he going to run for governor of Georgia or senate?
Remember we had the false report that Amazon, the media didn’t tell you that it was Amazon Haul, added a tariff line on their receipts. And CNN came to you yesterday to say how patriotic China was and how they would eat frozen potatoes before giving into Trump. All of our networks praised China for pushing back. But we covered the property slump and cities that are empty. The foreign financial institutions have downgraded China’s end of year outlook. Today the US ends the Chinese tariff loophole raising the cost of online goods. China was using the loophole, airlines have contracts with these Chinese manufacturers for consumers to purchase straight from the manufacturing and because the purchase is under $800 it was duty free, the exemption that Temu and Shein use to get these products to US consumers so cheap. Today China says it's evaluating the possibility of trade talks with the US. The airlines are crying because they have major cargo planes that have been flying this duty free crap and now it is gone.
The media is going nuts over the University of Alabama Commencement Speech. Trump is talking to these graduates, Trump has paved the way for these young people to create these jobs. Scott Bessent and Doug Burgum are working right now to turn the economy around.
Jobs report due out within hours.
