Kamala Harris is set to outline her economic policies in a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state. The vice-president, campaigning on creating an “opportunity economy”, has championed Joe Biden’s economic proposals, which led to various legislations being passed. However, some ideas like raising the minimum wage and strengthening protections for labor were not enacted. Harris will address these issues and more in her speech.
In a competitive race against Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Harris is expected to lay out her vision for a prosperous future for American families. The event has drawn a large crowd, with the fire marshal having to restrict entry into the venue due to high turnout.
Meanwhile, a new CNN poll shows Harris leading Trump by 12 points among voters under the age of 35. The endorsement of Harris by Muslim advocacy group Emgage Action reflects the growing concern over foreign policy issues and the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.
Amidst all this, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has stated that he is preparing for the possibility of leaving the country and obtaining a new identity if Trump is re-elected. This comes after a bipartisan Senate report criticized the Secret Service for “preventable” errors in securing a rally that resulted in an assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
As the election nears, both Harris and Trump continue to vie for support in swing states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina, setting the stage for a closely contested race. Harris’s speech in Pittsburgh is expected to provide further insights into her economic policies and her plans for the future.
