Attorney General Ford Defeats Trump’s Tariffs After Lombardo Said Nevadans Should “Feel A Little Pain” From Them
Today, Attorney General Aaron Ford defeated Trump’s reckless tariffs in court nearly one year after Joe Lombardo said Nevadans should “feel a little pain” from them. This comes after a recent report found that Trump’s tariffs, which Joe Lombardo supported, cost families in Nevada nearly $1,000 in 2025. Another recent report found that inflation under President Trump cost Nevada families nearly $1,600 last year.
Over the last year, the Lombardo-Trump tariffs have caused small businesses to close and prices to rise for Nevada families. Under the Lombardo-Trump economy, grocery costs, unemployment, and homelessness have risen while tourism and state revenue is falling short. Under Lombardo, housing costs climbed to record highs and there is no sign of relief for Nevada residents.
Last month, Attorney General Ford began rolling out his ‘Affordable Nevada’ agenda that is laser-focused on lowering housing costs, making health care more affordable, delivering clean and affordable energy, and more.
“Joe Lombardo may think that Nevadans need to ‘feel a little pain’ from Trump's tariffs, but I don’t. I believe that working people need relief, which is why I took on Trump’s tariffs in court and won,” said Attorney General Aaron Ford.
