‘Huge Stakes’: Mark Penn Explains Why US-China Trade Fight Could Be Tougher Than Ukraine War
Political strategist Mark Penn warned Friday that the brewing economic confrontation between the United States and China could prove more difficult to manage than the Ukraine-Russia conflict. President Donald Trump said his proposed 100% tariff on Chinese goods was “not sustainable,” and pointed to Beijing’s rare earth export restrictions for derailing trade negotiations. Appearing on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Penn said that the U.S.–China trade showdown is shaping up to be one of the most consequential economic battles in decades. “I think the president is right. They also both can’t afford to fail because they can’t afford to throw either economy into further disruption because there’s just too much at stake. But this is not going to go easy. We’re going to have more roller coaster rides before this is over,” Penn said. Penn said Trump was correct to call the trade standoff unsustainable, warning that both Washington and Beijing face immense pressure to avoid economic fallout. “It’s not sustainable. And this could be tougher than the Ukraine war. You’ve got two very determined leaders, both with huge economy, both with huge stakes here in terms of the outcome,” Penn told Bret Baier.

China tightened export controls on rare earth minerals and targeted U.S. companies with new port fees and an antitrust probe in response to Washington’s trade measures. Trump later said that the U.S. would impose a 100% tariff on Chinese goods starting Nov. 1 and restrict exports of critical software, warning the measures could take effect sooner if Beijing escalates further.

Mark Halperin Explains The ‘Tragedy’ He Saw In This Week’s New York Mayoral Debate
Political analyst Mark Halperin said Friday that this week’s New York City mayoral debate revealed a glaring failure, not from the candidates, but from the moderators. Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Republican New York City mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa faced off Thursday in a debate for the New York City mayoral race. “The tragedy for me is in two hours, the moderators never really tried to pin Mamdani down on the economic policies that he’s espousing. And how he proposes to pay for things that are not currently affordable. The other candidates didn’t do it either,” Halperin said on “Special Report with Bret Baier.” “And I think even though, as Mark [Penn] said, there is another debate, I think he’s going to be elected mayor of New York City without even [coming] close to explaining how his numbers add up on the outside.” Halperin said it is “very difficult” to see how Cuomo can change the dynamic of the race. “I never like to take it away from the voters or declare it’s over, but I think it’s as cooked as a Twinkie and a pizza oven for 35 minutes,” Halperin added. “It’s very difficult to see how Cuomo changes the dynamic of the race. I don’t think Sliwa would be more likely to get out after his performance last night, because I’d argue he was probably the best person on the stage.” During the debate, the moderators asked Mamdani why he refused to endorse Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, even after she publicly backed his campaign. When asked by moderators to raise their hands if they would support Hochul’s reelection, neither Mamdani nor his opponents responded.

Mamdani also did not deny Cuomo’s accusation that he did not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Instead, the socialist Democrat said he left his ballot blank to protest what he called “the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.” All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.

‘No Appetite Among Democrat Voters To Give In’: Carville Warns GOP Of A ‘Reckoning’ On Shutdown And Elections
Democratic strategist James Carville warned Republicans on Friday that Democrats have no intention of backing down amid the ongoing government shutdown fight. Senate Democrats voted for the eighth time Tuesday to keep the government shut down, rejecting a bipartisan measure to reopen it as the funding lapse reached its second week. Appearing on “The Beat With Ari Melber,” Carville said Democrats do not plan on backing down. “Democrats are not going to cave on this budget. Even if they wanted to, they couldn’t. There is no appetite among Democratic voters to give in. I don’t think there’s any appetite among Democrats on the Hill — both the House and the Senate,” Carville told Ari Melber. Carville said Democrats see themselves on the “right side” of the issue and believe momentum is on their side. “They feel like they’re not going to lose it, that they’re on the right side — and there is zero appetite to give in. If they wanted to, they couldn’t, because Democratic voters would come out of the woodwork,” Carville said. “You better brace yourself for what’s going to happen in November, because this is the first time voters are going to the polls. We’ve had special elections, and in every one, Democrats have outperformed by over 15 points. The moment of reckoning cometh — and it’s not that far away.” Carville predicted Democrats will win key state elections this fall. “We’re going to win in Virginia, and we probably are, in all likelihood, going to win in New Jersey. That is going to change the entire dynamic of the coverage,” Carville said. “I’m sorry, [but] Senator Thune or Speaker Johnson can go out and do all the talking points they want. You better prepare your caucus for a long haul, because the Democrats feel they’re winning this fight.” Despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying Democrats would gain politically from a lengthy shutdown, recent polls show voters still favor Republicans and the Trump administration on economic issues, giving them a slight edge over Democrats. Harvard CAPS/Harris polling shows Republicans holding a 4-point lead on economic issues among 2,413 registered voters, while Democratic polling firm Navigator Research found the GOP ahead by 2 points on inflation and cost-of-living concerns and by 11 points on “getting things done.” All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
