Vice President Kamala Harris recently issued a statement criticizing former President Donald Trump's economic policies, particularly in relation to American workers and the manufacturing sector. Harris accused Trump of failing to deliver on his promises to American workers, labeling him as one of the biggest losers of manufacturing in American history.
Harris highlighted Trump's track record of cutting taxes for corporations, encouraging outsourcing, and presiding over the loss of nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs, including auto jobs. She also pointed out Trump's support for anti-union laws and his suggestions for companies to move jobs out of Michigan.
The vice president's statement comes ahead of Trump's scheduled town hall event in Warren, Michigan, focusing on the auto industry. Harris criticized 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 accused Trump of repeating the same playbook and making false promises to working people.
Recent polling data indicates that likely voters trust Trump over Harris to handle the economy, with 50% favoring Trump and 39% favoring Harris. Even among those who view Trump's views and policies as too extreme, 15% still trust him more than Harris on economic matters.
Both Harris and Trump have been actively campaigning in battleground states to appeal to voters on economic issues, which are a key focus of the current campaign cycle. The ongoing debate between the two candidates underscores the importance of economic policies and their impact on American workers and industries.
