Kamala Harris: It is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant. That's not what we do. We stand for the principles upon which our nation was founded. We believe in the power of the vote, and we are prepared when necessary to fight fire with fire.

BARTIROMO: If you put that 100% tariff on top of what's in place already, you'd have a 157% tariff on China. What is that gonna do to the economy?
