Trump's Tariffs, Blue Wave And The Battle For Congress | NDTV From Capitol Hill
As America votes in the 2026 midterm elections, the battle for control of Congress is turning into a test of Donald Trump's second-term agenda. From Capitol Hill, NDTV tracks the election-day mood, key Senate battlegrounds and the possibility of a Democratic blue wave.
At the centre of the debate is Trump's tariff policy. With businesses facing uncertainty, consumers dealing with rising costs and trade tensions affecting America's global relationships, are tariffs becoming an electoral liability for Republicans? Political strategists and experts examine whether a Democratic-controlled Congress could check Trump's economic agenda, even as the president retains significant powers over trade policy.
The broadcast also examines the Indian American vote, concerns over H-1B visas and immigration, and the future of India-US ties. In an exclusive conversation, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam discusses the impact of tariffs on bilateral relations, the cost of living and the political choices facing American voters.
