We’d like to find out more about your holiday spending plans this year. The New York Times reported on Friday that the Trump administration is pivoting to an affordability message and considering lowering some tariffs rates.
The administration has floated policies that would lower prices for coffee and fruit, spoken about a 50-year mortgage proposal, and Trump has mused on social media about giving Americans $2,000 funded by tariff revenue.
A Harris poll from September found that 74% of Americans said their monthly household costs had gone up by more than $100.
We want to hear from you. Have you started preparing for holiday shopping this year? Or Black Friday? How are your plans being affected by Trump’s tariffs or economic considerations? Do you have cost of living concerns as we head into the holiday season?
