Harris aims to blunt Trump's economic attacks by proposing new tax breaks

Vice President Kamala Harris is promoting a broad set of economic proposals that would offer new tax breaks and lower the cost of living for Americans, aiming to address the financial concerns that are at the top of the mind for voters and that Republican Donald Trump is trying to lay at her doorstep. Harris will be in the battleground state of North Carolina on Friday to lay out her plans, including a proposal for a federal ban on price gouging on groceries. She also is proposing $25,000 in down payment help for certain first-time homebuyers and tax incentives for builders of starter homes, among other things. Harris is calling for tax breaks aimed at families, as well as middle- and lower-income people. She would expand the child tax credit to up to $3,600 - and $6,000 for children in their first year of life. Harris would expand the earned income tax credit to cover people in lower-income jobs without children, which the campaign estimates would cut their effective tax rate by ...

Trump appreciates support from Nikki Haley, refuses advice on campaigning

Republican presidential candidate and former president Donald Trump said he appreciates the support he has received from Indian American and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley but hasn't taken her advice related to campaigning. "I fought Nikki (Haley) very hard. I beat her in her own state by legendary numbers. I get along with her fine. I appreciate that she endorsed me," Trump said to reporters at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday. Trump was responding to questions about a recent interview of Haley in which she said that the Republican presidential nominee should quit whining about his Democratic opponent Vice President Kamala Harris and instead focus on policy issues. "You can't win on those things. American people are smart. Treat them like they're smart. It's not about her. It's about the American people. Talk to them and let them know you need their vote," Haley told Fox News in an interview. "I think I'm doing a very calm campaign. I mean, we're he

Trump attacks Harris on inflation, economics in remarks at his golf club

Former President Donald Trump has said that Americans are struggling with massive price hikes that he blamed on Vice President Kamala Harris, looking to saddle his new Democratic rival with the unpopular economic record of President Joe Biden. Trump on Thursday stuck close to his scripted economic message, reading from a binder in front of him in a news conference at his New Jersey golf club. A day earlier, he struggled to make a sustained case for his economic policies during a meandering speech that his campaign had billed as a major policy address. Kamala Harris is a radical California liberal who broke the economy, broke the border and broke the world, frankly, Trump told reporters. Trump was flanked by popular grocery store items, including instant coffee, sugary breakfast cereals and pastries, laid out on tables as he highlighted the cost of everything from food to car insurance to housing. The event came one day after the Labor Department announced year-over-year inflation h

Trump asks judge to delay sentencing in hush money case till Nov elections

Donald Trump is asking the judge in his New York hush money criminal case to delay his sentencing until after the November presidential election. In a letter made public Thursday, a lawyer for the former president and current Republican nominee suggested that sentencing Trump as scheduled on Sept 18 about seven weeks before Election Day would amount to election interference. Trump lawyer Todd Blanche wrote that a delay would also allow Trump time to weigh next steps after the trial judge, Juan M Merchan, is expected to rule Sept 16 on the defence's request to overturn the verdict and dismiss the case because of the US Supreme Court's July presidential immunity ruling. There is no basis for continuing to rush, Blanche wrote.

Trump scheduled to hold news conference at his New Jersey golf resort

Former President Donald Trump invited reporters to his New Jersey golf club Thursday for his second news conference in as many weeks as he adjusts to a newly energized Democratic ticket ahead of next week's Democratic National Convention. Trump will meet the press as he steps up his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris for not holding a news conference or sitting down for interviews since President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign and endorsed her to replace him. The vice president has barely engaged with reporters since becoming the Democratic nominee, though she travels with journalists aboard Air Force Two and sometimes answers shouted questions while boarding or leaving the plane for campaign stops. In one brief interaction last week, she told reporters she wants to get an interview together by the end of the month. Trump on Wednesday made little effort to stay on message at a rally in North Carolina that his campaign billed as a big economic address, mixing pledges

Trump goes off topic again: Do voters care about economy or Harris' laugh?

Donald Trump sought to recalibrate his presidential comeback bid with a North Carolina rally focused on the economy, but he struggled to stay focused on a topic that voters identify as a top concern. Trump on Wednesday opened his speech with off-script attacks on the media and aired his grievances over the Democrats swapping Vice President Kamala Harris for President Joe Biden atop their ticket. He referred to San Francisco, where Harris was once the district attorney, as "unlivable" and went after his rival in deeply personal terms, questioning her intelligence and saying she has "the laugh of a crazy person. You know why she hasn't done an interview? She's not smart. She's not intelligent. And we've gone through enough of that with this guy, crooked Joe," Trump said, using the nickname he often uses for Biden. Trump said that his aides wanted him to focus on economic concerns but that he was not sure he agreed the economy is the most important issue of the election. Trump spoke a

Trump's to hold rally in N Carolina; Harris campaign launches $90 mn ad buy

Donald Trump will hold a rally and speech in North Carolina that his campaign is billing as a significant economic address. Set in a Democratic city surrounded by staunchly Republican mountain counties, the event carries both national and local implications for the former president. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris' presidential campaign is launching a $90 million advertising effort over the next three weeks to introduce the Democrat to voters and sharpen the contrast with Trump. The media buy marks her campaign's largest-yet investment in messaging to voters with just 2 1/2 months until Election Day in November. Here's the Latest: Harris, Walz will have a joint bus tour ahead of the DNC Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov Tm Walz, are gearing up for the Democratic National Convention with a joint bus tour. Harris, Walz and their spouses, second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz, will start the tour in Pittsburgh on Sunday. That follows

Harris gets advantage over Trump on honesty, discipline: AP-NORC poll

Vice President Kamala Harris has a perceived advantage over former President Donald Trump on several leadership qualities such as honesty, a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds, although Americans are slightly more likely to trust Trump on the economy and immigration. Nearly half of Americans say that committed to democracy and disciplined are attributes that better describe Harris. About 3 in 10 say these qualities better describe Trump. About 4 in 10 say Harris is someone who cares about people like you while about 3 in 10 say that about Trump. About 4 in 10 say honest better describes Harris and 24% say that quality better describes Trump. Both parties are racing to define Harris as she prepares to accept the Democratic nomination at the party's convention next week. The poll suggests she carries some of the same baggage that weighed down President Joe Biden before he ended his reelection bid but has advantages over Trump when they're

Harris begins policy rollout, Trump's campaign data leaked to news outlets

Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to outmanoeuver former President Donald Trump and address old vulnerabilities on her policy positions as she starts to fill in how she would govern if elected in November. Vice presidents rarely have policy portfolios of their own. Now, after four years of following President Joe Biden's lead, Harris is taking a cautious approach to unveiling a policy vision in her own right. Meanwhile, at least three news outlets were leaked confidential material from inside the Trump campaign, including its report vetting JD Vance as a vice presidential candidate. So far, each has refused to reveal any details about what they received. Instead, Politico, The New York Times and The Washington Post have written about a potential hack of the campaign and described what they had in broad terms.
