That means Canada’s response to Trump’s tariffs played a small role in wrestling control of the House of Representatives to the Democrats in 2018

Trade wars may be “easy to win,” according to U.S. President Donald Trump, but congressional seats? Not so much.

“These findings suggest that both the trade war and health care policy contributed meaningfully to the 2018 ‘Blue Wave,’ in which Republicans lost a total of 40 House seats,” the paper reads. “Republican candidates lost ground in counties that were adversely affected by retaliatory tariffs, but saw no discernible gains in counties where workers were disproportionately protected by new U.S. tariffs.

The study found that China’s tariffs on U.S. farm exports may have been particularly effective in hammering the Republican vote-share in the election.
