Not particulary in favor of Biden specifically but the left tweet doesn't say tarrifs are bad per se, just on who the burden lands. Apparently that knowledge does not stop him from implementing them.
Of course. These tariffs are just to protect the US capitalists' profits. At the expense of the working class as always.
While that's correct, it's also correct that the society including the working class benefits from locally produced products as they increase the local rather than international cashflow.
But of course, the main profiteers will be the higher ups.
