I don't think many Democrats have been arguing for blanket tariffs for some time. It kind of seemed like there was a bipartisan consensus for the use of some combination of tariffs and stimulus to ensure there was domestic manufacturing capability for critical industries... at least until trump. Nobody in their right mind has been calling for a return to domestic t-shirt manufacturing, but there are national security and competitiveness reasons to think about semiconductors. And that's what the chips act did, and at 64-33 that's about as bipartisan as things get these days.
