Phó Tổng thống Kamala Harris nhấn mạnh rằng bà có kế hoạch giúp đỡ các gia đình Mỹ nói rằng họ lo lắng về nền kinh tế và chi phí sinh hoạt.
Tôi tin vào tham vọng, khát vọng, ước mơ của người dân Mỹ, Harris nói.
Harris đã chào mời kế hoạch xây dựng một nền kinh tế cơ hội, bao gồm các đề xuất làm nhà ở giá cả phải chăng hơn và mở rộng tín dụng thuế trẻ em.
Harris cũng tấn công các đề xuất của cựu Tổng thống Donald Trump, như cung cấp cắt giảm thuế cho các tập đoàn và lập luận rằng họ sẽ làm tổn thương các gia đình trung lưu Mỹ.
Trump đã hứa sẽ mở rộng các cắt giảm từ Đạo luật cắt giảm thuế và việc làm năm 2017 của mình, đáng chú ý là các khoản giảm thuế thu nhập cá nhân của TCJA, và giảm thuế suất thuế doanh nghiệp.
Trump đã trả lời bằng cách lặp lại tuyên bố của mình rằng ông sẽ đặt thuế quan đối với các quốc gia khác, chẳng hạn như Trung Quốc. Ông cũng chỉ ra rằng Tổng thống Joe Biden giữ những mức thuế đó.
Cựu tổng thống cũng nhấn mạnh tỷ lệ lạm phát cao dưới thời chính quyền Biden-Harris, nói rằng họ là một thảm họa của người dân đối với người dân, cho tầng lớp trung lưu, và cho tất cả tầng lớp.

Former President Donald Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 after Vice President Kamala Harris accused him of being linked to the “dangerous plan.”
“I have nothing to do with Project 2025,” he said. “That’s out there. I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it, purposely. I’m not going to read it.”
Trump went on to say that the people who wrote the Project 2025 plan came up with ideas, “I guess some good, some bad,” but that it makes no difference because he has nothing to do it with it.
Some background: Harris has been attacking parts of the conservative Project 2025 that sets up a blueprint for a potential second Donald Trump presidency. The 920-page document was organized by the Heritage Foundation think tank and developed in significant part by people who served in Trump’s administration. Trump has publicly distanced himself from the initiative, calling unspecified Project 2025 ideas “seriously extreme.”
Project 2025’s proposals for right-wing policies and a radical reshaping of the executive branch have become frequent targets of Democratic criticism. A Harris campaign official previously said the campaign has “made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump’s policies” as “Project 2025,” since they believe “it has stuck with voters.”

But, Russell Vought, one of the key authors of Project 2025, was heard on video talking candidly about his behind-the-scenes work to prepare policy for Trump, his expansive views on presidential power, his plans to restrict pornography and immigration, and his complaints that the GOP was too focused on “religious liberty” instead of “Christian nation-ism.”
Vought thought the men he was talking to were relatives of a wealthy conservative donor. They actually worked for a British journalism nonprofit and were secretly recording him the entire time.

High prices are a top concern for many Americans who are struggling to afford the cost of living after a spell of steep inflation. In new CNN polling of six swing states, economic issues remain the topic most often chosen by voters when asked what matters in their choice for president.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump both unveiled more of their economic plans last week. Below is a snapshot of what the candidates have proposed so far.
Highlights of Harris’ economic promises
The first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries to counter the increase in food costs.
Increasing a tax deduction for new small businesses to $50,000, up from $5,000.
Boosting investment in community development financial institutions, or CDFIs, which are dedicated to serving low-income people and communities that are missed by traditional lenders.
Continue the Biden administration’s drive to eliminate so-called junk fees and to fully disclose all charges, such as for events, lodging and car rentals.
A three-section plan aimed at addressing the nation’s housing shortage. Parts of it build on proposals that Biden has already unveiled.
Restore the American Rescue Plan’s popular expansion of the child tax credit to as much as $3,600, up from $2,000, and call for it to be made permanent. The enhancement was only in effect in 2021.
Ending federal income taxes on tips, sparking Trump’s ire that she is copying his campaign promise
Highlights of Trump’s economic promises:
Extend the cuts from his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, notably the TCJA’s individual income tax breaks. The former president has also talked about reducing the corporate tax rate to 15%, from 21% – but only for companies that make their products in the US.
A government efficiency commission as a way to reduce government spending and he announced that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has agreed to lead it.
Repeal Biden’s tax hikes, “immediately tackle” inflation and end what he called Biden’s “war” on American energy production.
During a campaign stop in Las Vegas, Trump also pledged to end taxes on tips, a move targeted to appeal to hundreds of thousands of people working in the city.
Stop taxing Social Security benefits. He has yet to outline a proposal to replace the lost revenue, which could harm the popular entitlement program, as well as Medicare and the federal budget.
In an effort to address housing affordability, Trump has floated a ban on mortgages for undocumented immigrants, claiming that they push up housing costs. CNN has reported that undocumented immigrants, however, make up a tiny portion of the mortgage market.
Donald Trump called Kamala Harris a “Marxist” on Tuesday as he looked to tie the vice president to her father, a retired Stanford University economist.
“If she ever got elected, she’d change it. And it will be the end of our country. She’s a Marxist; everybody knows she’s a Marxist. Her father is a Marxist professor in economics, and he taught her well,” Trump said during the presidential debate.
Some background: The former president has previously levied similar personal attacks against Harris and focused on her father, Donald Harris, who rose from a rural boyhood to earn a doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley, and became the first Black economics professor granted tenure at Stanford.
Among the economists who know him, Harris’ father is considered a free thinker, willing to challenge his field’s orthodoxy, CNN previously reported. He has largely stayed out of the public eye during his daughter’s political rise, though he did emerge publicly during Harris’ 2020 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination to publicly chastise her for joking that of course she had smoked marijuana, given her Jamaican background.
The candidates are being asked about abortion and reproductive rights, a key issue in the 2024 campaign. Here’s a look at where each candidate stands on the issue.
Kamala Harris’ stance: Harris took on the lead role of championing abortion rights for the Biden administration after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022. This past January, she started a “reproductive freedoms tour” to multiple states, including a stop in Minnesota thought to be the first by a sitting US president or vice president at an abortion clinic.
On abortion access, Harris embraced more progressive policies than Biden in the 2020 campaign, as a candidate criticizing his previous support for the Hyde Amendment, a measure that blocks federal funds from being used for most abortions. Policy experts suggested that although Harris’ current policies on abortion and reproductive rights may not differ significantly from Biden’s, as a result of her national tour and her own focus on maternal health, she may be a stronger messenger.
The issue was a key part of the programming at the Democratic National Convention this summer and Harris’ campaign announced the launch of a 50-stop bus tour last month — starting in Trump’s backyard of Palm Beach, Florida — focused on reproductive health care.
Donald Trump’s stance: Trump last month said he will not support a ballot referendum to expand abortion access in his home state of Florida just 24 hours after suggesting he might. The rush to clarify his stance followed intense blowback from anti-abortion advocates online, leading to concerns among Republicans that Trump’s continued waffling on abortion might lose him some deeply religious voters in a tightening race.
Trump, whose ever-evolving views on reproductive health have traversed every side of the debate, has long expressed concerns about the political fallout from the 2022 Supreme Court decision to end the constitutional right to an abortion. Though he has sought credit for installing the three conservative justices that tipped the court to overturn Roe v. Wade, Trump earlier this year said future questions about access should be left to the states.
Trump said in April that he would not sign a federal abortion ban and has taken the position that abortion laws should be decided by states. He’s also said that he supports exceptions in cases of rape and incest and when the life of the mother is under threat.
Trump said in May that he did not support banning birth control. He previously said that he was “looking at” contraceptives when asked if he supported restrictions. In August, Trump announced plans to make either the government or insurance companies pay for in vitro fertilization treatments. He did not specify how the treatments would be paid for.
Former President Donald Trump defended his decision to support the six-week abortion ban that will be on the ballot in his home state of Florida, a change from his previous stance on the measure.
He said “Democrats are radical” in their abortion policies, though he has said he believes abortion should be a state issue.
Trump also went on to tout that he was able to overturn Roe v. Wade by appointing justices to the Supreme Court and said that he still believes in exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.
“It’s the vote of the people now. It’s not tied up in the federal government. I did a great service in doing it,” Trump said of overturning Roe v. Wade. “It took courage to do it. And the Supreme Court had great courage in doing it.”
This November, voters in at least 10 states will take to the polls to determine the future of abortion access in their state, after a nationwide effort by organizers to secure a wave of ballot measures aimed at restoring or protecting the right to an abortion — and some aimed at restricting it.
Trump also attacked Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick, Tim Walz, for his stance on abortion, claiming that Walz supports “execution after birth.”
ABC News Live anchor Linsey Davis pushed back on that claim, saying: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”
What Trump has said about abortion: Trump’s position on abortion is that “states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land,” according to an April video posted to his Truth Social platform. That stance was echoed in the new Republican National Committee platform. The platform does not mention a national abortion ban, a policy some social conservatives wanted to see included, but which the former president has publicly said he opposes.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade remains unpopular with a wide majority of Americans, according to a poll from Marquette Law School released last month, with two-thirds opposing the decision.
Vice President Kamala Harris said mainstream economists believe her economic plan would grow the economy and Donald Trump’s would shrink it.
Goldman Sachs, in an analyst note last week, said exactly that: Trump’s economic policies — particularly on trade — would cause America’s economy to shrink by a bit in 2025. By contrast, Harris’ economic policy proposals would grow the economy by a marginal amount next year, Goldman Sachs predicted.
Trump has proposed 10% to 20% tariffs on most items imported to the United States except Chinese goods — which would get a 60% tariff. That would cost Americans $2,600 a year, according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
And Trump’s proposal to deport 10 million to 20 million immigrants would be an “inflation shock.” Even a tenth of that proposal would lift inflation by 1.3 percentage points after three years, according to research presented at the Peterson Institute for International Economics by Australian economist Warwick McKibbin. Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the US economy, would be 2.1 percentage points lower with that many deportations — a dramatic decrease.
Harris’ proposals, by contrast, are more standard fare and would keep the economy on pace, most mainstream economists say.
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared incredulous during former President Donald Trump’s answers on China during Tuesday’s presidential debate — raising her eyebrows, lowering her chin and mouthing “that’s not true” to his answer.
After Trump said China “bought their chips from Taiwan,” Harris held her mouth agape and shook her head. She continued shaking her head as Trump said she’s adopted some of his policies. When Trump called her a “Marxist,” Harris raised her eyebrows and tilted her head back.
When Trump referred to Harris’ father as a Marxist, Harris brought her hand to her chin to pantomime contemplative thought.
Harris’ campaign pushed to have the mics unmuted during the debate but was unsuccessful.
Vice President Kamala Harris criticized what she called “Trump abortion bans” in an impassioned argument for reproductive rights during Tuesday night’s debate.
“One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump, certainly, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body,” Harris said.
She said Trump’s policies on abortion have no exception for rape or incest, which she called “immoral.”
Harris also pointed out Trump’s selection of US Supreme Court Justices during his time as president, which she linked to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“Let’s understand how we got here,” she said.
Harris then went on to say she would “proudly” sign a bill into law reinstating the protections of Roe v. Wade if elected president.
“I think the American people believe that certain freedoms — in particular the freedom to make decisions about one’s own body — should not be made by the government,” the vice president said.
What Trump has said about abortion: Trump’s position on abortion is that “states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land,” according to an April video posted to his Truth Social platform. That stance was echoed in the new Republican National Committee platform. The platform does not mention a national abortion ban, a policy some social conservatives wanted to see included, but which the former president has publicly said he opposes.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade remains unpopular with a wide majority of Americans, according to a poll from Marquette Law School released last month, with two-thirds opposing the decision.
Former President Donald Trump said that he would not sign a national abortion ban.
Trump, pushing back against Vice President Kamala Harris’ claim that the former president would push through a national abortion ban, said, “Well there she goes again, it’s a lie. I’m not signing a ban and there’s no reason to sign a ban because we’ve gotten what everybody wanted” — referring to the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Vice President Kamala Harris said former President Donald Trump’s proposal to institute sweeping tariffs on all imports of up to 20% is “a tax on everyday goods that you rely on to get through the month.”
What Harris failed to mention though is that under her watch, President Joe Biden has instituted hefty tariffs, predominantly on Chinese imports.
In May, the administration implemented new tariff rates on Chinese imports – ranging from 100% on electric vehicles to 50% for solar components to 25% for other sectors – that will roll out over the next two years.
Harris sought to defend such tariffs by saying Trump “invited trade wars.”
Donald Trump has made immigration and the border a central campaign issue, successfully pressuring Republicans to reject a major bipartisan border deal earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has quickly started to try to counter Trump’s attacks on her immigration record during her campaign and outlined her policies.
Trump’s attacks stem from President Joe Biden having tasked Harris with overseeing diplomatic efforts in Central America in March 2021. While Harris focused on long-term fixes, the Department of Homeland Security remained responsible for overseeing border security.
Here’s a look at what both candidates have proposed on the issue:
Trump
In a Des Moines Register op-ed published roughly a week before winning the Iowa caucuses in January, Trump vowed to use the “Alien Enemies Act to remove known or suspected gang members, drug dealers, or cartel members from the United States.”
He also wrote that he plans to “shift massive portions of federal law enforcement to immigration enforcement — including parts of the DEA, ATF, FBI, and DHS.”
In a video posted on Truth Social in late February before a visit to the border, Trump also promised to “carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.”
Trump in June proposed “automatically” giving green cards to foreign nationals who graduate from US colleges — comments that break from his efforts to curb both legal and illegal immigration while in office.
After the Israel-Hamas war began last October, Trump also promised to terminate the visas of “Hamas’ sympathizers.”
Harris
Her campaign released a video in late July citing Harris’ support for increasing the number of Border Patrol agents and Trump’s successful push to scuttle a bipartisan immigration deal that included some of the toughest border security measures in recent memory.
In June of this year, the White House announced a crackdown on asylum claims meant to continue reducing crossings at the US-Mexico border – a policy that Harris’ campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, indicated in late July to CBS News would continue under a Harris administration.
She has only occasionally talked about her efforts as the situation along the US-Mexico border became a political vulnerability for Biden. But she put her own stamp on the administration’s efforts, engaging the private sector. Harris pulled together the Partnership for Central America, which has acted as a liaison between companies and the US government. Her team and the partnership are closely coordinating on initiatives that have led to job creation in the region. Harris has also engaged directly with foreign leaders in the region.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris said during Tuesday night’s debate that former President Donald Trump’s policies would result in a “Trump sales tax” that would raise prices for middle class families by about $4,000 a year.
Facts First: The claim is reasonable enough, but it’s worth explaining that Harris is referring to Trump’s proposal to implement new tariffs if he returns to the White House.
Trump has called for adding a tariff of 10% to 20% on all imports from all countries, as well as another tariff upward of 60% on all Chinese imports.
Together, a 20% across-the-board tariff with a 60% tariff on Chinese-made goods would amount to about a $3,900 annual tax increase for a middle-income family, according to the Center for American Progress Action Fund a liberal think tank.
If the 20% tariff was just 10%, as Trump sometimes suggests, the total impact for middle-class families could be $2,500 a year, according to CAP.
Separate studies estimate that the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs would also raise prices for families, but by a lower amount. The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimated the new duties would cost the average middle-class household about $1,700 annually. And the Tax Policy Center said the impact could be $1,350 a year for middle-income households.
Former President Donald Trump claimed in Tuesday’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris that there was virtually no inflation during his administration.
“I had no inflation, virtually no inflation,” Trump said.
Facts First: This is false. Cumulative inflation over the course of Trump’s presidency was about 7.8%.
Inflation was low at the end of Trump’s term, having plummeted during the Covid-19 pandemic. The year-over-year inflation rate was about 1.4% in January 2021, the month Trump left office.
Take a look at the positions of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the most fraught foreign policy issue facing the country that has spurred a multitude of protests around the US since it began last October.
Harris: After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in late July, Harris gave a forceful and notable speech about the situation in Gaza. She echoed Joe Biden’s repeated comments about the “ironclad support” and “unwavering commitment” to Israel, as well as the need to get the Israeli hostages back from Hamas captivity. The country has a right to defend itself, she said, while noting, “how it does so, matters.”
However, the empathy she expressed regarding the Palestinian plight and suffering was far more forceful than what Biden has said on the matter in recent months. She went on to describe “the images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time,” and said, “I will not be silent.”
The vice president continued calling out the plight of the people in Gaza, as well as the need to free the Israeli hostages and secure a ceasefire deal, in her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in August. Harris said that as president, she would maintain the US alliance with Israel and “ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself.”
Trump: The former president also met with Netanyahu in July, the first such meeting between the two men since Trump left the White House more than three years ago. Trump, who often claims he was the most pro-Israel president in modern history, once touted his close, personal relationship with Netanyahu. However, their relationship has soured in recent years, and the former president has been reluctant to speak with him throughout the ongoing conflict.
In the immediate aftermath of Hamas’ attack on Israel, Trump criticized Netanyahu for his handling of the war, claiming to Fox News at the time the prime minister and the country overall were “unprepared.”
Many Israelis presume that Trump would give Netanyahu a longer leash to use greater force in Gaza. Trump has said that Israel must “finish what they started,” “get it over with fast,” and that the US must “let Israel finish the job.”
Former President Donald Trump backtracked on statements in which he seemingly agreed that he lost the 2020 election by “a whisker” and claimed he was being “sarcastic.”
“I said that?” Trump said as moderator David Muir read back Trump’s own statements on the 2020 election. “That was said sarcastically.”
“Look, there’s so much proof. All you have to do is look at it, they should’ve sent it back to the legislatures for approval,” Trump said.
