Josh Wingrove

Trump has an affordability problem, and he has been spending the last two weeks campaigning in deep ruby red parts of the country, trying to maintain essentially a Senate firewall.

Josh Wingrove has been following the campaign closely.

He's a senior White House reporter with Bloomberg

News.

A week ago, Susan Collins convinced Trump to lift tariffs on Canadian goods critical to farmers and fishermen in her state and replace them with other tariffs elsewhere.

And Trump already lifted levies on Canadian salt Maine depends on to clear its wintry roads.

Bloomberg's Josh Wingrove says it shows the power of Susan Collins.

This is the only state where Trump has put out boutique tariff relief to save a candidate.

First, though, he needs to win re-election, help win the governorship, and keep peace with his fellow Georgia senator.

John Ossoff sat on the edge of his seat as Barack Obama began.

Julie Fine is Bloomberg's Texas bureau chief.

Josh Wingrove is a senior White House reporter and our guide here at The Big Take as we get to and through the midterms.

He's going to be back with us next week.

Let's make sense of the results.

But the whispers on the Hill was that Mark Carney picked up the phone to call Donald Trump about getting conversations going.

Again, from Josh Wingrove, I forgot where he's from again, White House correspondent for Bloomberg.

Says, the latest we're hearing on US-Canada talks is Hassett says talks have picked up and they're very close to a deal.

It's been LeBlanc and Lutnik, not Greer.

in both of them we have all the cards just like i told zielinski we have all the cards

so that's not really that much i mean trump says a deal is close he could just be saying that because he wants to make it seem like a deal is close which helps in the midterms i don't think carney's going to get a deal anytime soon this could spoil carney's plans yeah i mean unless trump says we're going to open up full trade with no deal obviously he's not going to do that so Meanwhile, we've got Josh Wingrove here, who's the Washington and White House correspondent, Bloomberg, saying that Trump is making tariff changes to shore up a Senate race.

Maine Senator Susan Collins, amongst the most endangered GOP senators in this cycle, announces that nine categories of products will be exempt from Trump's tariffs on Canada.

We've got corrugated paper and paper cartons and boxes, plastic boxes, cases, crates, similar items, plastic packaging.

Let's go to the White House.

Bloomberg White House correspondent Josh Wingrove is standing by as the president gets ready for the flight to Sioux City.

And Josh, it's interesting that he'll be back in Iowa knowing that the farmers, as we were discussing a bit earlier, are very concerned.

This is a new poll.

And so in that lame duck congressional period, these talks will be ongoing.

And we'll see if the Canadian diplomats take a similarly wide berth during that period as well.

All right, Josh Wingrove, great reporting from the White House North Lawn today, Josh.

Thank you so much.

Josh, let me start with you.

I'm Josh Wingrove.

I'm a White House reporter here at Bloomberg.

My name is Will Kubzansky.

This still leaves the market pretty short.

I would actually say really quite short of where it needs to be to sort of resolve those supply issues that it's facing right now.

Coming up, more of my conversation with Josh Wingrove and Will Kozanski.

A wonderful asset despite the series of reports by The Wall Street Journal alleging she solicited or accepted money, travel, and other benefits from private individuals while using her access to the administration, uh, and her diplomatic position for leverage.

We didn't think this is where we'd be starting today with Josh Wingrove, but he's got the byline on the story.

Bloomberg White House reporter is with us now live on the North Lawn.

Uh, Josh, this moved pretty quickly.

Right now, but as of now, we just simply have no commitment from them about whether the new press secretary will, will continue to brief or whether they'll continue that cadence of sending Vance or others to the podium.

All right.

Josh Wingrove live on the North Lawn of the White House for us, thank you so much.

Now, we just covered with Josh a number of things that were discussed in the White House press briefing today.

Yeah, it's Lucy with the football all over, it seems.

Josh Wingrove is a Washington correspondent for Bloomberg.

But there is reason to hope that this will be more interesting race for the reporters covering it.

And there's reason for Democrats to hope that they will pull it out.

And so we'll see what happens.

But right now, I think the question is sort of like, you know, who can get their side to turn out? What is the overall climate? And is the president's unpopularity weighing on some of these candidates, including Attorney General Paxton?

Coming up, more from my conversation with Julie Fine and Josh Wingrove.
