2020 TN Senate race: on Free Trade


Bill Hagerty: Stand with Trump on being firm with China

Hagerty says, "The president has stood firm against China," he said. "He's stood up to China on their theft of intellectual property. He's stood up to China on their use of state owned enterprises to compete unfairly. And he stood up to China for forcing American companies to give up their ownerships and expose their entire networks, if they wanted to do business in China. We finally have a president that is willing to face it head on and I'm willing to stand right by his side."

Bill Hagerty: Decrease our strategic dependency on China

From Huawei to unfair trade to oppressive human rights violations, China has been working to compromise our security, weaken our economy, and harm our society. Since taking office, however, President Trump is standing up to China and fighting back to level the playing field, secure our nation, and decrease our strategic dependency on China.

James Mackler: Trade war with China is a disaster

Mackler accused Trump of causing rural hospitals in Tennessee to close and taking away health care from hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans.

Manny Sethi: Need a second Industrial Revolution to bring jobs back to US

"All these Washington insiders, career politicians, have sold American jobs down the drain to save a buck," he said. "It's not just the healthcare supply chain; it's so many others that we rely on.

"We need to have a second Industrial Revolution in this country and bring these jobs back here."
