About this listen

Ever wondered about the real-world consequences of trade wars beyond economic headlines? In this episode, we dive into Edward Mansfield and Omer Solodoch's compelling research on how the escalating 2018 U.S.-China trade war reshaped American politics.

Discover how retaliatory tariffs announced by China impacted public support for President Trump and the Republican Party, uncovering that voters' reactions were driven more by national economic concerns than by personal or local interests. We explore how this economic clash influenced the 2018 midterm elections, reshuffling political preferences and voter decisions in real-time.
