Trump Hits Canada with 50% Tariff | Darline Graham Officially Enters Senate Race (Ep 789)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson Today's show covers major developments in international trade, the ongoing conflict with Iran, South Carolina's high-profile U.S. Senate race, and the continued budget impasse at the State House. President Donald Trump announced a surprise 50% tariff on imports from Canada while also pledging that U.S. forces will continue striking Iranian military targets following the deaths of American service members. We'll break down the latest on both the trade announcement and the escalating military campaign. Here in South Carolina, the race to succeed the late Lindsey Graham officially entered a new phase as Darline Graham Nordone announced she will seek a full six-year term in the United States Senate. Candidate filing opens today, setting the stage for what could become one of the state's most closely watched Republican primaries. We'll also discuss comments from Drew McKissick, who says the information currently available to the South Carolina Republican Party indicates Senator Graham Nordone appears to meet the qualifications to run in the GOP primary. Meanwhile, the South Carolina General Assembly still has not approved a state budget, despite the fiscal year beginning July 1. Major sticking points continue to include property tax relief and legislative earmarks. Representative John McCravy joins us to explain why negotiations remain stalled, what lawmakers are debating, and what happens if a final budget continues to be delayed. 🎯 In Today's Show: President Trump announces a 50% tariff on Canada Latest U.S. military strikes against Iran Darline Graham Nordone officially launches Senate campaign Candidate filing begins in South Carolina Drew McKissick discusses GOP primary qualifications Representative John McCravy explains the state budget standoff Property taxes, earmarks, and what's next for lawmakers 📩 Join our mailing list: JoeyHudson.com 📱 Firmin Ford Text Line: 864-477-JOEY (5639) Follow Joey: Facebook: facebook.com/joeyhudsononline X: @joeyhudson Subscribe for daily political analysis, South Carolina news, interviews with state and national leaders, and thoughtful coverage of the issues shaping our country. #BreakingNews #Trump #Canada #Tariffs #Iran #SouthCarolina #DarlineGraham #LindseyGraham #SCPolitics #JohnMcCravy #DrewMcKissick #Politics #JustTheTruth #USSenate #Trending
