I think what we're going to see is that republicans won't receive much blame for groceries and consumer good costs rising. I also think outside of extreme events (e.g. COVID) the vast majority of the voting public doesn't really understand how to judge the health of the economy, and instead only defers to the economy as a post-facto rationalization for what they were already leaning towards. The tariff chaos is on everyone's mind right now so it seems as if people genuinely care, but in reality it's just a function of the media attention cycle. By the time the next elections come along, complaining about tariffs is going to be a boring talking point that democrats mistakenly think is a winner, but the public will have already moved on to the next thing.
