Harris has vowed to strengthen workers’ rights, expand financial support for the working class, boost opportunities for non-college graduates, and raise the minimum wage. Trump, meanwhile, has promised to implement tariffs on imports and repeal federal investments in clean energy, both of which would likely lead to job losses.
The proposal comes days before Election Day, as Vice President Kamala Harris affixes her presidential campaign to a promise of expanding women's health care access in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to undo nationwide abortion rights two years ago.
Vice President Kamala Harris intends to support small business owners and entrepreneurs by reducing their expenses and increasing their access to capital. Trump’s tariff proposal, however, could cause small businesses’ costs to rise.
Trump’s proposed tariff of between 100% and 2,000% on foreign-made cars entering the US would raise prices on both domestic and imported cars and “likely send thousands of US workers to the unemployment line,” according to Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow in the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center at the Urban Institute.
In response to the report, the Harris-Walz campaign released an analysis of its own, outlining how Trump’s agenda would raise costs for over 4.4 million North Carolina households by an average of $3,954 per year.
Mainstream economists warn that Trump's plans to impose huge tariffs on imported goods, deport millions of migrant workers, and demand a voice in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies would likely send prices surging.
Perhaps most alarming is what these lies signal for the upcoming election. Tim Alberta, a staff writer at The Atlantic, warned on X: "If you think the lies and distortions and know-nothing takes about FEMA are bad, just wait until this time next month."
Trump’s lies have had real-world consequences; Americans in affected communities have been reluctant to apply for aid, have worried about whether their homes or land will be seized, and have claimed FEMA has ignored or abandoned rescue efforts in communities.
The Trump Bible’s connection to China, which has not been previously reported, reveals a deep divide between the former president’s harsh anti-China rhetoric and his rush to cash in while campaigning.
Under Harris’ plan, Medicare would cover the cost of in-home health care for seniors enrolled in the program, after a medical provider has determined that they are in need of help performing daily tasks. Harris’ proposal would also provide coverage for vision and hearing benefits under Medicare.
