Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure ($5,600 per household) attributed to tariffs in Michigan — a concrete, verifiable economic claim that could materially influence voter understanding of tariff impacts.
What we foundThe $5,600 figure is real but represents tariffs paid by Michigan importers divided by the number of households — not the actual cost borne by each Michigan household.
