Vice President Kamala Harris recently issued a statement criticizing former President Donald Trump's economic policies, particularly his handling of the manufacturing sector. Harris accused Trump of failing to deliver on his promises to American workers, citing his tax cuts for corporations, encouragement of outsourcing, and the loss of nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs, including auto jobs.
Harris highlighted Trump's previous trade deal with Mexico and Canada, which she claimed facilitated the loss of American auto jobs. She pledged to bring autoworker jobs back to the US and criticized Trump for making false promises to working people, especially in Michigan.
Trump is set to host a town hall in Warren, Michigan, focusing on the auto industry, as part of his campaign efforts in battleground states. Despite criticism from Harris and others, a recent poll showed that likely voters trust Trump more than Harris to handle the economy, with 50% favoring Trump and 39% favoring Harris.
The ongoing debate between Harris and Trump underscores the importance of the economy as a key issue in the current campaign cycle. Both candidates are vying for support from voters by presenting their economic plans and track records, with a particular focus on manufacturing and job creation.
