A day after her Republican election rival Donald Trump suggested that factory jobs should be reclaimed from other countries if he becomes President, Kamala Harris is planning new more domestic support for manufacturing in the afternoon of Wednesday.
In her upcoming address that will be delivered in Pennsylvania -a crucial constituency for both presidential candidates in the Nov. 5 election- the democrats are expected to roll out policy proposals that will augment her earlier campaign pledges that included home buyers subsidies, small business tax credits and national anti-price gouging mandate for grocery stores.
According to a senior campaign official who requested anonymity, Harris will also include in her speech scheduled for 3:15 pm ET (1915 GMT) at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh a challenge of growing the middle class with the private sector and business people, which is consistent with the campaign plan.
Both candidates in the recent days have intensified their campaign messages focusing on the economy since the latest Reuters/Ipsos polling shows that this is the top most worry for voters as Election Day approaches.
Although, trump has argued for a blanket import tax on all goods to achieve this aim – a proposal that has a slight majority of voters’ support trump has focused on enticing companies to retain their operations in the United States.
In recent months, Harris has neutralized Trump’s advantage to a degree in how voters have viewed the respondents’ images of them as an ‘electorate.’ What a difference seven weeks has made in the mindset of the electorate, with a Reuters/Ipsos poll also published on Tuesday showing the Republican with only a slim 2 percent advantage on ‘the economy, unemployment and jobs,’ down from a confidence of 11 points in late July.
Harris has insisted that she should be the one representing the ordinary American, for she did not hail from the rich family unlike Trump.
“As will Donald Trump his Wednesday, our economy functions properly when it benefits those who own the major skyscrapers. It doesn’t benefit those who construct them. Or those who wire them. Or those who scrub the floors will be more accurate,” one senior campaign official spoke.
