Democrat Kamala Harris opened her presidential debate with Republican Donald Trump by touting her economic agenda, saying she was the only candidate on stage with a plan focused on “lifting up the middle class and working people of America.”
Harris addressed one of her biggest electoral vulnerabilities, high prices and costs that have hammered US households and left voters skeptical of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. The vice president noted her plans for expanding the child tax credit, offering mortgage assistance to new homebuyers, and a deduction for small businesses — while attacking Trump over his proposed tariff policy.
