Vice President Kamala Harris argues that Americans want a president who has a plan that is “sound and will strengthen our country” during an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier.
Vice President Kamala Harris opened up about why her economic plan is stronger than Donald Trump’s — despite public confidence in the former president’s record — during her first exclusive Fox News interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee .
“I’m offering a plan about what we need to do to strengthen small businesses, which are the backbone of the American economy. “I’m offering a plan that’s about caring for young parents and giving them the support they need,” Harris said “Special Report” host Bret Baier on Wednesday.
“My plans for the economy will strengthen the economy, as assessed by sixteen Nobel laureates, Goldman Sachs, Moody’s and recently The Wall Street Journal, all of which have studied our plans and have indicated that my plans for our economy would strengthen our economy. she continued. “[Trump’s] would make them weaker, fuel inflation and lead to a recession by the middle of next year. Those are the facts.”
In August, nonpartisan findings from the Penn Wharton Budget Model showed that Harris’ plan would add about $1.2 trillion to the budget deficit and impact GDP — the broadest measure of a country’s goods and services produced — over the next decade year by approximately 1.3%. According to the proposal, the tax and spending plan would reduce economic growth by about 3% by 2054.

According to the Wharton Budget Model, Trump’s spending plan could increase the national deficit by $4.1 trillion over the next decade. While it would initially boost the country’s GDP, it would ultimately slow economic growth. His plan would also shrink GDP by 0.4% by 2034 and 2.1% by 2054.

However, a Tuesday poll from Reuters/Ipsos found that Harris led Trump in a national matchup 45%-42%, well within the margin of error. Meanwhile, Trump has 45% support for the economy, compared to Harris’s 40%.
“I think if you look at an analysis of our plans for what we would do as president of the United States, it has been clear to those who study and understand how economic policy works in the future, because I believe that the American people are ready to turn the page on the division and rhetoric that has come out of Donald Trump,” Harris said.

“People are ready to take a new path forward, and they want a president who has a plan for the future and a plan that is healthy and will strengthen our country. My plan for the economy does just that,” the vice president said. “[Trump’s] The plan would once again be to give tax cuts to billionaires and the largest corporations in our country and inflate our budget deficit.”

When asked again why nearly half of voters appear to trust Trump more in the polls, Harris responded that this presidential race is “not supposed to be easy.”
Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, released a statement after Harris’ interview with Baier, calling the sit-down a “train wreck” and that Harris “couldn’t give a straight answer to a single question because she didn’t has answers. The entire campaign is based on lies about President Trump. Kamala can’t handle the pressure of an interview with Fox News — she certainly can’t handle the pressure of the presidency of the United States.
