Greg Stanton (AZ-04) took to the House Floor this week to criticize Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans for failing to hold a single vote to rein in the President’s abuse of tariff powers–especially as recent analysis shows prices for popular holiday gifts have climbed a whopping 26 percent because of Donald Trump’s tariffs. “Too many Arizona families are getting squeezed, and their paychecks are buying less and less this holiday season,” said Rep. Stanton on the House floor. “And until Congress stands up to President Trump and his illegal, reckless tariffs, things won’t get better.” Watch Rep. Stanton’s floor remarks HERE. The analysis from Groundwork Collaborative shows families are paying significantly more than last year for everyday holiday purchases, including toys (+17%), clothing (+20%), electronics (+34%), and home and kitchen gifts (+38%). New polling from Data for Progress shows more than two-thirds of voters are stressed about affording holiday expenses. To cope, more than 40 percent of families are buying fewer gifts, nearly one-third are giving presents to fewer people, and more than one in ten are tapping into savings. “Enough is enough,” Stanton continued. “House Republicans need to stand up for their constituents, stand up to President Trump, and put an end to this tax on American families.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
