Vice President Kamala Harris is set to outline her economic policies in a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a swing state where polls show a tight race between her and former President Donald Trump. Harris has been campaigning on creating an “opportunity economy” and will address issues such as lowering costs for Americans and improving economic opportunities.
Harris has not yet gone into specific details, but has promised to help Americans thrive and build wealth for future generations. She also criticized Trump’s economic policies, accusing him of prioritizing the wealthy and proposing tax cuts that would harm working people and the middle class.
In other news, the Secret Service is investigating an agent who allegedly sexually assaulted a Kamala Harris campaign staffer. The incident reportedly took place in Green Bay, Wisconsin, during a campaign scouting trip.
A CNN poll shows Harris leading Trump among young voters, while a bipartisan Senate report criticized the Secret Service for errors in securing a rally where an assassin opened fire, killing an attendee and wounding Trump. Meanwhile, the AARP found that Republican candidate Mark Robinson in North Carolina is trailing his Democratic challenger.
In a separate development, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen said he would leave the country and obtain a foreign passport with a new identity if Trump is re-elected. Cohen expressed concerns about possible retaliation from Trump against his perceived enemies.
Overall, the day so far has seen various developments in politics, with Congress working on legislation to fund the government and Harris preparing to speak on her economic policies in Pennsylvania.
