As the presidential campaign heats up, both candidates are fine-tuning their economic messages to appeal to voters in battleground states. Vice President Harris is set to speak at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, emphasizing a pragmatic approach and outlining new policies to boost domestic manufacturing. Meanwhile, former President Trump will deliver a speech in North Carolina focusing on protecting workers.
Both candidates are highlighting their plans for the economy, a crucial issue for voters. Recent polls show that neither candidate has a clear advantage on this front. Harris and Trump are positioning themselves as tax cutters while accusing each other of supporting massive tax hikes on the middle class.
Business leader Mark Cuban expressed support for Harris, citing her detailed policy stances that resonate with companies. Trump, known for his business background, has proposed various economic ideas, including limiting credit card interest rates and setting up low-tax zones on federal lands to attract employers.
Trump has criticized Harris's tax proposals, labeling her the 'tax queen' and warning that her policies would negatively impact the middle class. Harris, in turn, has criticized Trump's tariff plans, calling them a 'national sales tax' that could increase costs for consumers.
Both candidates are engaged in a war of words over economic policies, with Harris focusing on elevating the middle class and promoting job creation. Trump, on the other hand, is touting his plans to boost oil production and protect workers.
As the campaign progresses, the candidates are expected to continue sharpening their economic messages to sway undecided voters in key states.
