Evans critiqued former President Trump's tariffs, emphasizing the economic burden on families in Philadelphia. He stated, "Trump’s reckless tariffs could cost the average Philly family over $4,600 a year. At today’s @WaysMeansCmte hearing, I asked Trump’s trade representative what's the president’s plan to combat the higher cost of living these tariffs will impose on Americans. TLDR: There is no".

He remarked, "Congressional Republicans’ budget plan has: $880 billion cut to Medicaid $230 billion cut to SNAP food aid $7 TRILLION in tax cuts skewed to billionaire GOP donors This bill is a cruel betrayal of hard-working families. I’m voting NO.".
